Witness Consistency Verification

Definition

Witness consistency verification is a process within zero-knowledge proof systems that confirms the integrity of the witness data used to generate a proof. It ensures that the witness, which contains the private inputs to a computation, remains consistent throughout the proof generation and verification steps. This verification is crucial for guaranteeing that the proof correctly attests to the execution of a computation without revealing sensitive information. Maintaining witness consistency is essential for the soundness and security of the cryptographic proof.
