  2. Zero-knowledge proof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-knowledge_proof

    This is called a "zero-knowledge proof of knowledge". However, a password is typically too small or insufficiently random to be used in many schemes for zero-knowledge proofs of knowledge. A zero-knowledge password proof is a special kind of zero-knowledge proof of knowledge that addresses the limited size of passwords. [citation needed]

  3. Mathematical proof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_proof

    The expression "mathematical proof" is used by lay people to refer to using mathematical methods or arguing with mathematical objects, such as numbers, to demonstrate something about everyday life, or when data used in an argument is numerical. It is sometimes also used to mean a "statistical proof" (below), especially when used to argue from data.

  4. Zero knowledge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Knowledge

    Zero knowledge may mean: Zero-knowledge proof , a concept from cryptography, an interactive method for one party to prove to another that a (usually mathematical) statement is true, without revealing anything other than the veracity of the statement

  5. Commitment scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commitment_scheme

    One particular motivating example is the use of commitment schemes in zero-knowledge proofs.Commitments are used in zero-knowledge proofs for two main purposes: first, to allow the prover to participate in "cut and choose" proofs where the verifier will be presented with a choice of what to learn, and the prover will reveal only what corresponds to the verifier's choice.

  6. List of incomplete proofs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_incomplete_proofs

    That is, there was a method for deciding correctly whether any statement of that form was true. In the final sentence of that paper, he asserted that the same proof would work for the decidability of the larger class [∃ * ∀ 2 ∃ *, all, (0)] =, which also includes formulas that

  7. Proof of knowledge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_knowledge

    In cryptography, a proof of knowledge is an interactive proof in which the prover succeeds in 'convincing' a verifier that the prover knows something. What it means for a machine to 'know something' is defined in terms of computation.

  8. Triviality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triviality_(mathematics)

    Trivial may also refer to any easy case of a proof, which for the sake of completeness cannot be ignored. For instance, proofs by mathematical induction have two parts: the "base case" which shows that the theorem is true for a particular initial value (such as n = 0 or n = 1), and the inductive step which shows that if the theorem is true for a certain value of n, then it is also true for the ...

  9. Zero to the power of zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_to_the_power_of_zero

    Zero to the power of zero, denoted as 0 0, is a mathematical expression that can take different values depending on the context. In certain areas of mathematics, such as combinatorics and algebra, 0 0 is conventionally defined as 1 because this assignment simplifies many formulas and ensures consistency in operations involving exponents.
