Private Verifiable Computing

Definition

Private verifiable computing allows a party to outsource computations to another party and verify the correctness of the result, all while keeping the inputs and outputs confidential. This advanced cryptographic technique uses methods like zero-knowledge proofs to ensure that a computation was performed accurately without revealing the sensitive data involved in the calculation. It is particularly relevant for blockchain applications where privacy and trustless verification are paramount. This capability enables secure and confidential processing of complex operations off-chain, then proving their integrity on-chain.
