👉 In cryptography, "rawhiding" refers to a technique used for encrypting data using a secret key. In this context, it involves hiding the plaintext with the help of a secret key and then decrypting it without revealing the key. This is often used in applications such as digital signatures, digital certificates, and online transactions. The term "rawhiding" has been popularized by the use of RSA (RSA encryption) and its related algorithms, which are widely used for secure data transmission
