{wiki=Malleability_(cryptography)}
In cryptography, malleability refers to the property of a cryptographic system (usually a public key encryption scheme) that allows an adversary to alter a ciphertext in such a way that the corresponding plaintext is also altered when decrypted. This manipulation can lead to predictable changes in the outcome of the decryption process.
