Secrecy-Preserving Proofs with Solid Foundations
The traditional notion of a proof offers no secrecy --- proving the validity of a blockchain transaction would reveal its details, proving qualification for a loan would reveal private financial information, and proving that a system has been hacked could reveal sensitive details about the system. Remarkably, using cryptography, this problem can be solved. Secrecy-preserving proofs are a class of protocols allowing to prove assertions about secret information, without actually revealing the information. The most prominent notion of such a proof is that of zero knowledge proofs, which reveal no information at all. Recent years have seen zero knowledge proofs transition from theory to…
