Algebraic Range Proof

Definition

An Algebraic Range Proof is a cryptographic primitive allowing a prover to demonstrate that a secret value lies within a specific numerical range without revealing the value itself. This proof system utilizes algebraic structures to construct compact and efficient zero-knowledge proofs. It confirms the boundedness of a variable, ensuring that computations involving it remain within predefined limits without exposing sensitive data. Such proofs are vital for maintaining privacy and integrity in various cryptographic protocols.
