Use cases
Some valuable use case in business applications
ZKPs have the potential to improve the security and privacy of business operations while still allowing for the verification of important claims.
Some examples of how ZKP can be implemented in business:
Identity verification: ZKPs can be utilized to authenticate user identities without compromising personal information. For instance, users can confirm their age without disclosing their birthdate or other sensitive details.
Confidentiality/Privacy: ZKPs can be employed to secure sensitive business data while still allowing for the verification of claims. For example, businesses can prove their revenue without revealing other financial information.
Supply chain management: ZKPs can help verify the authenticity and origin of products without disclosing any sensitive information about the supply chain. This can enhance transparency and prevent fraud.
Digital payments: ZKPs can improve the security and privacy of digital payments. For example, customers can demonstrate they have sufficient funds to make a purchase without exposing their account balance.
Decentralized finance: ZKPs can enable privacy-preserving transactions and verify certain claims without requiring trust. For instance, ZKPs can confirm the amount of cryptocurrency held by a user without exposing their address or other identifying information.
Apart from these, any situation or business case where one party needs to prove to another that a statement is true without revealing any additional information beyond the statement itself is a strong candidate for a ZKP solution.
