Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Privacy-Preserving Digital Identity with Clare Nelson
9 likes•6,548 views
Zero-knowledge proofs (zkps) are cryptographic methods that enhance personal privacy while maintaining institutional integrity by allowing users to prove identities without revealing sensitive information. The document discusses various applications of zkps in digital identity, addressing challenges such as data breaches and identity theft, while promoting a balance between privacy and security. It also covers the technical aspects of zkps, their requirements, and the evolving standards in the field.

An interactive proof system (P, V) for a language L is zero-knowledge if
for any PPT verifier V∗
there exists an expected PPT simulator S such
that
∀ x ∈ L, z ∈ {0, 1} ∗
, ViewV∗
[P(x) ↔ V∗
(x, z)] = S(x, z)
As usual, P has unlimited computation power (in practice, P must be a
randomized TM).
Intuitively, the definition states that an interactive proof system (P, V)
is zero-knowledge if for any verifier V∗
there exists an efficient
simulator S that can essentially produce a transcript of the
conversation that would have taken place between P and V∗
on any
given input.

But veils of secrecy designed to preserve privacy may also be abused to cover up lies and deceit by institutions entrusted with Data, unjustly harming citizens and eroding trust in central institutions. Zero knowledge (ZK) proof systems are an ingenious cryptographic solution to this tension between the ideals of personal privacy and institutional integrity, enforcing the latter in a way that does not compromise the former. – Eli Ben-Sasson, Iddo Bentov, Yinon Horesh, Michael Riabzev SSIMeetup.org

Prover gives no info to V˜ P˜ can cheat (successfully) with probability ≤ 1/2 n . Protocol: Repeat k times. Prover: Privately take G and randomly permute vertices to get a graph F. Prover: Publicly present F to Verifier (G and H are public from the beginning). Verifier: Toss a coin, and ask Prover to show that G ∼= F if heads, or H ∼= F if tails. SSIMeetup.org

Intuitively, the definition states that an interactive proof system (P, V) is zero-knowledge if for any verifier V∗ there exists an efficient simulator S that can essentially produce a transcript of the conversation that would have taken place between P and V∗ on any given input.
