NIZK
NIZK, or Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge, is a cryptographic primitive that allows a prover to convince a verifier that a statement is true, without revealing any information beyond the truth of the statement itself. This means the prover can demonstrate knowledge of a secret piece of information, such as a password or a solution to a complex problem, without actually disclosing that secret. The "non-interactive" aspect signifies that the prover sends a single proof to the verifier, and no further communication is required between them. This is a key distinction from interactive zero-knowledge proofs, which involve a series of back-and-forth messages.
The core properties of a zero-knowledge proof are completeness, soundness, and zero-knowledge. Completeness ensures that if
NIZKs have significant applications in various fields. They are crucial for enhancing privacy in blockchain technologies,
