!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a [Cryptographic Primitive] that allows one to commit to a chosen value ([message]) while keeping it hidden to others, with the ability to reveal the committed value later.
[{$pagename}] are designed so that a party cannot change the [message] after they have committed to it: that is, [{$pagename}]s are binding.
[{$pagename}]s have important applications in a number of [cryptographic] [protocols] including secure coin flipping, [Zero-knowledge proofs], and secure computation.
[{$pagename}]s [MUST] have two properties:
* Hiding - [Bob] shouldn't be able to figure out the [Message] from the commitment.
* [Binding] ([Second Preimage Resistance]) - The [Alice] shouldn't be able to change the [Message] after she made the commitment.
