Interactive Proof Systems

Definition

Interactive proof systems are cryptographic protocols where a prover convinces a verifier of the truth of a statement through a series of exchanges. Unlike non-interactive proofs, these systems require back-and-forth communication between the parties. They are foundational for advanced cryptographic applications, offering a mechanism for proving computational integrity without revealing underlying data. Their application is becoming increasingly relevant in scenarios requiring verifiable computation and privacy-preserving operations within digital asset ecosystems.
