Proof System Foundations

Definition

Proof system foundations refer to the underlying mathematical and cryptographic principles that establish the validity and security of various proof mechanisms in decentralized systems. These foundations ensure that claims, such as transaction validity or computation integrity, can be verified without revealing sensitive information. They are essential for zero-knowledge proofs, verifiable computation, and secure data attestations. Their robustness underpins the trustworthiness of cryptographic protocols.
