Zero Knowledge Proofs and Password Security

Zero-knowledge proofs let someone prove that they know or have something without giving up any information about what they know or have. ZKPs have the potential to eliminate a major trade-off inherent in living, working, and transacting online: the convenience, speed, reach, and scale of the internet in exchange for our privacy. They also allow for nuance in a privacy landscape that’s often black-and-white.

I teamed up with Jill Carlson to glimpse into future of ZKPs and their implications by covering: 

• What Are Zero-Knowledge Proofs?
• The History of Zero-Knowledge
• The Upside of Hype
• The Privacy Spectrum
• Applications of Zero-Knowledge Systems
• The Zero-Knowledge Design Space
