Zero knowledge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 70.29.208.247 (talk) at 10:20, 15 May 2010 (hmm... seems to have been renamed.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Zero Knowledge may mean:

  • Zero-knowledge proof, a concept from crytography, an interactive method for one party to prove to another that a (usually mathematical) statement is true, without revealing anything other than the veracity of the statement
    • Non-interactive zero-knowledge proof, a common random string shared between the prover and the verifier is enough to achieve computational zero-knowledge without requiring interaction
    • Zero-knowledge password proof, an interactive method for one party (the prover) to prove to another party (the verifier) that it knows a value of a password
