Malleability (cryptography)
text:
Malleability is a property of some cryptographic algorithms. An encryption algorithm is "malleable" if it is possible to transform a ciphertext into another ciphertext which decrypts to a related plaintext. That is, given an encryption of a plaintext m , it is possible to generate another ciphertext which decrypts to f , for a known function f , without necessarily knowing or learning m . Malleability is often an undesirable property in a general-purpose cryptosystem, since it allows an attacker
