An unlinkability guarantee is a privacy property in cryptographic systems that ensures an observer cannot determine whether two or more transactions, messages, or identities belong to the same entity. This means that even if an observer can see individual actions, they cannot connect them to form a complete profile of a user’s activity. It is a core objective in privacy-preserving digital asset protocols. This guarantee helps protect user anonymity and financial privacy.
Context
The unlinkability guarantee is a central topic in discussions surrounding privacy coins and zero-knowledge technologies within the digital asset space. News often covers advancements in protocols like Zcash or Monero that aim to strengthen this property, as well as regulatory concerns about its potential for illicit activities. The ongoing debate balances the desire for user privacy with the need for transparency and compliance in financial systems.
This ZK argument system composes Ligero with sumcheck-based verifiable computation to create privacy-preserving digital identity from existing ECDSA standards.
