allocation concealment
Explanation:
This seems to be it (although this is not my field - found by research).

Allocation concealment - A technique used to prevent selection bias by concealing the allocation sequence from those assigning participants to intervention groups, until the moment of assignment. Allocation concealment prevents researchers from (unconsciously or otherwise) influencing which participants are assigned to a given intervention group.

Blinding (masking) - The practice of keeping the trial participants, care providers, those collecting data, and sometimes even those analyzing data unaware of which intervention is being administered to which participant. Blinding is intended to prevent bias on the part of study personnel. The most common application is "double-blinding", in which participants, caregivers and those assessing outcome are blinded to intervention assignment. The term "masking" may be used instead of blinding.

neutral  Edith Kelly: any references to back up your proposal? IMO, hiding is not correct here but I have no proof.
