Closing the circle of security in the cloud Until today, data-sensitive companies are unable to utilize the immense benefits of cloud computing. It is well known that cloud-computing offers many advantages, ranging from increased scalability to reduced operations and update costs.
Efficient ECC in zkSNARKs using ZoKrates ZoKrates is a toolbox for zkSNARKs on Ethereum. It includes an easy-to-use domain-specific language for developers to leverage the power of zero-knowledge proofs in their decentralized applications. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a
Is it a match? A privacy-preserving analytics tool Buying data is a lengthy process on its own. Finding the right vendor, type of data and passing all the regulatory and legal procedures takes time and costs money. On top of that,
A new model for AI governance Over the last centuries, humanity has tested and implemented various governance models for society and individuals. Checks and balances, separation of powers and democracy are ways of making our societies to be governed
A cryptographic paradigm shift in data cybersecurity Photo by Jose Fontano on UnsplashAccording to the annual report from the WEF about global risks, increased cyber-threats is one of the biggest risks that companies and countries face right now. Attacks in
Brief Introduction to Secure Cryptographic Enclaves Photo by Johannes Plenio on UnsplashWhen Apple released the iPhone 5S in 2013, most people focused on its new camera and features such as Touch ID. However, on top of these features, Apple
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
