In cryptography,

zero-knowledge proofs or zero-knowledge protocols are methods by which one party (the prover) can prove to another party (the verifier) that a statement is true, without conveying any additional information beyond the fact that the statement is indeed true,

according to Wikipedia.

The goal of a zero-knowledge proof is to allow the prover to prove the statement’s truth, while not revealing any information about the statement itself, or about the prover’s knowledge or identity.

Zero-knowledge proofs have a wide range of applications, including in the fields of cryptography, computer security, and privacy. They are used to prove the authenticity of digital certificates, to secure online transactions, and to protect the privacy of users in decentralized systems. They have also been applied to various other fields, such as mathematics, biology, and even psychology.

Zero-knowledge proofs are based on the idea of interactive proof systems, in which the prover and verifier communicate with each other through a series of…
