Proofs that yield nothing but their validity and a methodology of cryptographic protocol design
Abstract
In this paper we demonstrate the generality and wide applicability of zero-knowledge proofs, a notion introduced by Goldwasser, Micali and Rackoff. These are probabilistic and interactive proofs that, for the members x of a language L, efficiently demonstrate membership in the language without conveying any additional knowledge. So far, zero-knowledge proofs were known only for some number theoretic languages in NP ∩ Co-NP.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
