Non-Membership Proofs

Definition

Non-membership proofs are cryptographic assertions demonstrating that a particular element is not contained within a designated set, without revealing the set’s contents. These proofs confirm the exclusion of an item from a collection of data, useful for verifying eligibility or preventing double-spending. They are essential for maintaining data integrity and privacy in various decentralized applications. Such proofs offer a secure way to confirm absence without exposing sensitive information.
