In cryptography, the Fiat–Shamir heuristic is a technique for taking an interactive proof of knowledge and creating a digital signature based on it. This way, some fact (for example, knowledge of a certain secret number) can be publicly proven without revealing underlying information. The technique is due to Amos Fiat and Adi Shamir (1986).

Fiat–Shamir heuristic - Wikipedia Jump to content From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cryptographic technique In cryptography , the Fiat–Shamir heuristic , or Fiat–Shamir transformation , is a technique for taking an interactive proof of knowledge and creating a digital signature based on it. This way, some fact (for example, knowledge of a certain secret number) can be publicly proven without revealing underlying information. The technique is due to Amos Fiat and Adi Shamir (1986). [ 1 ] For the method to work, the original interactive proof must have the property of being public-coin , i.e
