Explore the key disadvantages of Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), including their high computational cost, increased complexity in implementation.| Tutorials
Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), which generate evidence for a third party to confirm the accurate execution of a computation, and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), which enables calculations on encrypted data, will be combined with distributed systems algorithms, that are capable of tolerating significant network failures and similar to those employed by Bitcoin. Together they will be utilized to comply with regulations while creating trustless applications.| LambdaClass Blog
Introduction The ZEXE (Zero-knowledge EXEcution) protocol appeared in 2018, introducing the cryptographic primitive of decentralized private computation (DPC). It aims to solve two main drawbacks that decentralized ledgers suffer: privacy and scalability. Let's take the examples of Bitcoin and Ethereum. We see that the history of all transactions is public| LambdaClass Blog
Introduction Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge (SNARKs) are powerful cryptographic primitives with decentralized finances, governance, and computation applications. There are many different SNARKs, such as Marlin (the one Aleo uses), Plonk, STARKs, Groth16, etc., depending on the tools they are built on and with differences in performance, proof sizes, verification| LambdaClass Blog
Zero-knowledge, Succinct, Non-interactive ARguments of Knowledge (zk-SNARKs) are powerful cryptographic primitives that allow one party, the prover, to convince another party, the verifier, that a given statement is true without revealing anything else other than the validity of the statement. They have gained widespread attention due to their applications in| LambdaClass Blog
Introduction One of the current goals is to realize, in an efficient way, incrementally verifiable computation (IVC). This cryptographic primitive allows a given party to show the integrity of a given computer program's execution by providing proof that the result of each step is correct and that all previous ones| LambdaClass Blog
Introduction Over the last decade, SNARKs (succinct, non-interactive arguments of knowledge) and STARKs (scalable, transparent arguments of knowledge) have been gaining attention due to their applications in verifiable private computation and scalability of blockchains. Groth introduced this proof system in 2016 and saw an early application in ZCash. The protocol| LambdaClass Blog
