What Is The Zero Knowledge Proofs Protocol 
System?
Let's admit the fact that Blockchain and cryptocurrency are here to stay. With the 
ease of transaction and its security features, Blockchain offers a multitude of 
benefits, becoming a lucrative career option. So, if you are willing to make a good 
Blockchain career, you need to know about the various concepts. In this blog, we 
are going to discuss one such concept, Zero-Knowledge Proof.

Exploring about Zero Knowledge Proof:
Before we dig deeper into Zero Knowledge Proof, let's analyze why we need to 
have such a system. The digital platforms that we are conventionally using have 
our data like astray. It makes it highly vulnerable, most of this data is sensitive, so 
its safety becomes of prime importance. The scenario changed with the advent of 
Blockchain technology. It was a promising entry and a great alternative to the 
conventional system that we are using. The Blockchain technology claims to be 
immutable, offers a higher level of data security by cryptography, the anonymity of 
the user.

While such tall claims are promising and to a great extent, Blockchain fulfils its 
claims. Still, when we talk about transparency and ease of accessibility, anyone 
can become a part of the network and get access to information, so safety and 
security become a matter of concern. Hence, we can also say that Blockchain 
doesn't offer complete security.

So, what is the way out, well, we have permission Blockchain platforms like Corda 
offering enterprise solution, but that is not the right solution with the kind of 
features which Blockchain must conventionally offer, i.e., free from third-party 
governance.

Zero Knowledge proof protocol system can be a probable answer to this. Zero-
knowledge Proof is an encryption system that was proposed by MIT in 1980. In 
simple words, in this system, the prover can prove that a statement is true to the 
other party or the verifier without disclosing any additional information.
Let's explain how does this works?

We have three parties involved in case of any exchange of information :
1.     Prover
2.     Bank
3.     Verifier

Let's say that the prover gets verified data from the bank. And the verifier makes a 
custom request to the prover's data. Now the prover computes the response on 
the verifier's questions and constructions a proof of correct computation. This 
response and completion are sent back to the verifier. Using the ZK algorithm or 
Zero Knowledge algorithm, they can assess whether the information is correct.

There are many real-life examples of the use of the ZK algorithm, like ZCash, ING, 
ZCoin etc. This system can be used for the exchange of sensitive information and 
Blockchain transactions.
 
With all this, Zero Knowledge Proof becomes a great way for transactions and the 
exchange of information.

Conclusion-
 With such support by assisted technologies, Blockchain is surely becoming one of 
the leading technologies that will be safe and free from any attack. So, if you wish 
to become a part of the Blockchain league, then Blockchain certification is a must. 
Blockchain Council is offering blockchain courses that run online, and you can 
pursue it to become an expert in this technology.
