Zero Knowledge Set Membership

Definition

Zero Knowledge Set Membership is a cryptographic primitive allowing a prover to demonstrate that a specific element belongs to a predefined set, without revealing the element itself or any other members of the set. This technique provides strong privacy guarantees, confirming inclusion without disclosing sensitive individual data. It is a specific application of zero-knowledge proofs, enabling verifiable assertions about data relationships. This capability is vital for privacy-preserving authentication.
