Zero-Knowledge Proof
An agreement between a prover and a verifier is verified using a zero-knowledge proof, also known as a ZK protocol.
In a method of proof with zero knowledge, the prover can demonstrate to the verifier that they are aware of a specific piece of knowledge (such as the answer to a mathematical problem) without disclosing the information itself. Modern cryptographers can use these proof methods to offer higher levels of security and privacy.
