Non-Interactive

Definition

Non-Interactive refers to a cryptographic protocol or system that does not require real-time communication between parties. In the context of zero-knowledge proofs, a non-interactive proof allows a prover to generate a proof that a verifier can check independently, without any back-and-forth communication. This contrasts with interactive proofs, which demand multiple rounds of exchange. Non-interactive schemes are highly valued in blockchain for their efficiency and suitability for public verification on a distributed ledger.
