What are Zero-Knowledge-Proofs?
Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) revolutionize digital security. It's a cryptographic method that allows you to prove the validity of a statement without revealing the statement itself. Imagine: you prove you know something without revealing what it is.
The Core Principle
A ZKP is only a ZKP if it fulfills three fundamental principles: **Completeness** (a valid proof is always accepted), **Soundness** (a false proof is always rejected), and **Zero-Knowledge** (the proof itself reveals no additional information about the statement).
How Does It Work?
A classic example: you want to prove to a bank that your account balance is above a certain value without revealing the exact amount. ZKPs make this possible. You prove the truth (‘I have at least X euros’) without disclosing the exact number.
Prover
The person who wants to prove a statement without revealing sensitive information.
Verifier
The person who verifies that the proof is valid without seeing the underlying data.
Proof
A mathematical structure that confirms the truth of a statement without revealing information.
UMBORA and Zero-Knowledge
At UMBORA, Zero-Knowledge Proofs are the foundation of our security architecture. This means your authentication occurs without UMBORA or third parties ever gaining access to your private keys or personal data.
- Maximum Privacy: Your identity remains completely protected during every authentication.
- No Data Storage: UMBORA does not require sensitive data to verify your identity.
- Secure Communication: All messages are protected by our Zero-Knowledge architecture.
- Decentralized Verification: Verification occurs without a central, trusted authority.
