Proof System Construction

Definition

Proof system construction refers to the engineering of cryptographic protocols that enable one party to prove the truth of a statement to another without revealing the statement itself. These systems, often known as zero-knowledge proofs, are fundamental for privacy and scalability solutions in blockchain technology. They involve complex mathematical and computational techniques to generate and verify proofs efficiently. The process requires careful design to ensure soundness, completeness, and zero-knowledge properties, allowing for verifiable computation without exposing sensitive data.
