Introduction to Zero Knowledge Proofs
What are zero knowledge proofs? A zero-knowledge proof is a way for one person (the prover) to prove to another person (the verifier) that they know something without revealing any additional information about it. It’s like a magic trick, but with math instead of rabbits and top hats. Zero knowledge proofs (ZKP) are a type of cryptographic protocol that allows one party (the prover) to demonstrate to another party (the verifier) that a certain statement is true, without revealing any additional information beyond the truth of that statement. In other words, a zero knowledge proof allows one party to prove to another party that they know a certain secret, without revealing the secret itself. ...
