The evolution of cryptography (deciphered)
Cryptography is the backbone of our current digital society, but how did it become so important? Interestingly, the systematic study of cryptography as a science (and perhaps as an art) started only during
Proving Knowledge of a Hash Pre-Image with ZoKrates
In this blog we implement a problem that's very typical in blockchain use-cases: proving the knowledge of a pre-image for a given SHA-256 digest. We will begin demystifying this machinery by computing the
Introduction to zk-SNARKs (Part 1)
OverviewIn this series of posts, we will look at zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs): a family of probabilistic protocols, first described by Goldwasser, Micali and Rackoff in 1985, which has garnered increased popularity with the
Why Decentralize?
Why do people protest against nuclear power? It’s clean, it’s cheap, and it doesn’t smell. Perhaps it is because of the risk attached to this source of electricity. In case
