Towards Understanding the Application Areas of Zero Knowledge Proof: A Comprehensive Analysis

Santrauka

As privacy and security concerns increase, Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) technology offers a promising solution for secure digital verification. ZKP addresses key privacy and security challenges across individual, business, and public sectors by enabling data protection without revealing sensitive information. The aim of this study is to analyse ZKP’s application areas by reviewing current literature and case studies, examining its strengths, limitations, and potential risks. Findings highlight the capability of ZKP to enhance privacy, security, and verification processes across various fields, including blockchain technology, identity authentication, secure data sharing, and digital voting systems. The paper provides a balanced perspective on ZKP’s benefits and challenges, including computational complexity and scalability issues. By suggesting practical use cases, this work aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of how ZKP technology can support innovation across various industries while addressing critical privacy and security needs.
