The End of Password Verification: How ZKPs Could Change Everything | A Beginner Level Overview

The End of Password Verification? How ZKPs Could Change Everything | A Beginner Level Overview Learn what a Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) is, at an overview. Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are a cryptographic method or protocol used to prove knowledge about a piece of data, without revealing the data itself. It is used in the Blockchain today, which involves the use of crypto or cryptocurrency (bitcoin and ethereum use-cases also exist). ZKPs in nature uses a lot of math and are mathematically complex, but when applied to technology and/or computer science (specifically, software) - there is a way to better understand how it works at an overview. That is what this video is about. In cybersecurity, ZKPs (two notable ones being zk-Stark and zk-Snark, but others exist) have an inherent trust issue (trusting that the verifier isn't lying). This leaves roughly two questions: 1. Can we implement a way for a verifier to be trusted with a high percentage (almost like cert verifiers)? 2. Would storing a proof instead of a password benefit more than traditional password storage? ____________________________________________________ 0:00 Proof of the Color Blocks 02:19 Proof of the Cave Door 04:03 ZKP in IT today 04:43 ZKP architectural diagram 08:53 Conclusion ____________________________________________________ Socials:   / vankperry   Discord: @vipv4 ____________________________________________________ Join Our Community!   / discord
