Verifiable Computation Integrity

Definition

Verifiable computation integrity refers to the ability to mathematically prove that a computation was executed correctly and produced the expected output, without needing to re-run the computation itself. This is often achieved using cryptographic proofs, such as zero-knowledge proofs, which allow one party to demonstrate the correctness of a computation to another party. It ensures trustworthiness and accuracy in distributed or outsourced computational environments. This concept is fundamental for secure and reliable decentralized systems.
