cryptographic-commitment-scheme [ noun ]

Definition

is a cryptographic primitive that allows one to commit to a chosen value (or chosen statement) while keeping it hidden to others, with the ability to reveal the committed value later.

Commitment schemes are designed so that a party cannot change the value or statement after they have committed to it: that is, commitment schemes are binding. More on wikipedia
