Announcing a Free Live Talk: Understanding the Maths Behind Zero Knowledge Proofs
Join us for an informative two-hour session on the “Essential Maths for Zero Knowledge Proofs,” hosted live by Extropy on YouTube on May 11th, from 14:00 to 16:00 GMT. This free educational talk aims to bridge the gap between simplistic explanations of Bob and Alice and the deep complexities of research papers in the field of cryptography and ZK.
Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) are a revolutionary concept in distributed ledger technology, enabling the verification of information without revealing the information itself. Despite their increasing relevance and application, the mathematical foundations of ZKPs can be daunting. This talk is designed to demystify the essential mathematics that makes ZKPs not just fascinating but also incredibly powerful in protecting privacy and increasing scalability.
What You Will Learn:
- Basic and Advanced Cryptographic Concepts: From integers and modular arithmetic to complex structures like fields and elliptic curves.
- Group Theory and its Cryptographic Applications: Understanding the role of cyclic groups, generators, and their significance in cryptography.
- Complexity Theory: Delve into P, NP, and NP-Complete problems and their importance in cryptographic algorithms.
- Polynomial Mathematics: Explore how polynomials are used in cryptography, including explanations of polynomial commitment schemes.
- Interactive Examples and Resources: Links to interactive tools and detailed explanations to enhance your learning experience.
This session is ideal for students, professionals, or anyone with a basic understanding of mathematics and a keen interest in the technology behind secure digital interactions. Whether you’re new to the subject or looking to deepen your understanding, this talk will provide valuable insights and a clearer understanding of the mathematical backbone of ZKPs.
