Zero Knowledge Proof
Jul 27, 2023
Zero Knowledge Proof, or ZPK, is a method by which one party can prove to another party that a given statement is true without having to convey any additional information apart from the statement being true. In other words, ZKP allows information to be verified without disclosing it.
ZPK is widely used in modern systems to protect valuable information, such as password authentication, blockchain technology, and digital signatures, to name a few.
