Technique mainly employed for factorization based cryptosystems to hide information. Usually blinding involves using a multiplicative homomorphic property of the cipher, it may be used to realize blind-signatures. It's also commonly used to protect cryptosystems like RSA and Rabin-Williams against timing-attacks.

Is multiplicative blinding less secure than additive?

Whether multiplicative blinding is drastically worse than additive blinding depends fairly strongly on: The ring are you doing the blinding in Whether you need to blind the value 0 The second is a … fairly obvious, as multiplicative blinding doesn't disguise 0 at all. …

One time blinding threshold encryption?

Notes: Blinding works because the blinded value $C^2S^e = (P^2S)^e \pmod N$, and as $P^2S < N$, RSA decryption results in the integer $P^2S$. … It should be obvious why blinding an already blinded value doesn't work. Obviously, we need to specify the sizes of $N$ and $T$. …

How much risk is there for RSA blinding random number not being relatively prime to N

That being said, how much of a security risk does the random number used for blinding not being relatively prime to N pose? …

Encryption using blinded key

Would it be a requirement that, given $f(k)$ and $c$, it is hard to rederive $m$? If so, then what you are effectively asking for is a public key encryption system; your public key is $f(k)$, and your …

Data Leakage and Data Switching

Given $v_1$ and $v_2$, can the server learn anything about $a$ and $b$? Yes, they can (with high probability) determine whether $a = b$; if $v_2 = 0$, then either $r_1 = 0$ or $a = b$; given that …

Protocol for Sharing Blinding Factor with RSA

First of all, you need to understand what's the point of key blinding in the first place. … through the above, $R$ is used only during the decrypt operation (or the signature operation); the original encryptor (the guy who created $C = P^e$ in the first place) need not know it (or even if RSA blinding
