About this book

Description
"Mastering Zero-knowledge Proofs" is your ultimate guide to blockchain and ZKPs. It connects blockchain's core elements, like distributed ledgers and smart contracts, to ZKPs' advanced privacy solutions, emphasizing their significance in today's digital world, and provides a robust understanding of how these cryptographic techniques can revolutionize security and privacy in various applications.In this book, you will explore the basics of blockchain and ZKPs. You will gain technical skills like group theory and elliptic curve cryptography. Each chapter covers practical applications of ZKPs in blockchain systems, addressing challenges, ongoing research, and real-world use cases across industries like healthcare and finance. You will find detailed explanations of SNARKs, STARKs, and PLONK, along with practical guidance on constructing and implementing these non-interactive proofs. You will learn about innovative solutions, zero-knowledge virtual machines, ZK-Rollups, and ZK-EVM, along with a step-by-step guide for building and deploying these technologies.By the end of this book, you will have a solid understanding of Zero-knowledge Proofs and their applications in blockchain development. You will be equipped to implement privacy-preserving solutions, enhancing security and efficiency in your projects, making you a competent contributor in the evolving blockchain space.
