In cryptography, ANDOS is an acronym for All Or Nothing Disclosure of Secrets, a two-party protocol introduced in 1986 by Brassard, Crepeau, and Robert. Two-party protocols aim to create a way for two parties to share secret information without the receiving party gaining additional knowledge beyond the intended disclosure. ANDOS has theoretical significance in the design of privacy-preserving protocols used in blockchain and secure communication systems.
Example
“The ANDOS protocol ensures that the recipient can only learn the specific secret they requested, without gaining access to any other secrets held by the sender.”
