Detailed Description

Class for blinding and unblinding a number based on a blinding string.

Numbers are blinded by applying an offset. The blinding string is converted to an integer using TMath::Hash and this integer is used to seed a TRandom3. The offset is sampled from a Gaussian of defined width using the seeded TRandom3.
