Unknowable Math Can Help Hide Secrets

MIT 대학원생 Rahul Ilango가 수학적 불가해성 개념을 활용해 기존 한계를 뛰어넘는 새로운 유형의 제로 지식 증명 방식을 개발했다. 이 방식은 증명의 비대화성(non-interactive) 문제를 수학적 증명 복잡성의 근본적 한계로 극복하며, 암호학에서 비밀을 안전하게 증명하는 새로운 가능성을 열었다. 이 연구는 수학적 논리와 암호학 간의 흥미로운 연결고리를 제시하며, 제로 지식 증명 기술 발전에 중요한 전환점이 될 전망이다.

How Unknowable Math Can Help Hide Secrets | Quanta Magazine

A graduate student recently harnessed the complexity of mathematical proofs to create a powerful new tool in cryptography.

For our #eID work with @cdengler and Clement Humbert we created a reading list with several presentations of our sources related to #ZeroKnowledgeProofs. You can either look at it on github:

https://eid-privacy.github.io/wp2/2026/04/22/zkp-vault.html

Or download it and open it with Obsidian to browse around. Of course we'd be very happy if you create a PR with your preferred paper on ZKPs!

Reading list for ZKP algorithms and implementations

Are you looking into various Zero Knowledge Proof algorithm and tools? Do you wonder which ones are the most relevant algorithms and implementations? What are the differences between the different approaches? Then you found the right blog entry! This is an introduction to the ZKP Vault page - you’ll find information how to view it locally, and how to add new information under local usage.

구조화된 LLM 출력 프레임워크의 의미 누출(semantic leakage) 위험을 완화하는 맥락에서, 출력 검증에 영지식 증명(zero-knowledge proofs)을 통합해 더 강한 보안 보장을 제공할 수 있는지 논의하는 트윗이다.

@Designarena @OpenAI Jason, your structured LLM outputs framework mitigates semantic leakage risks. Have you explored integrating zero-knowledge proofs into output validation for stronger security guarantees?

Google Quantum AI publiziert ein Whitepaper zur verringerten Qubit-Anforderung für das Knacken elliptischer Kurvenkryptografie. Die Offenlegung der Schwachstelle für Kryptowährungen erfolgt über Zero-Knowledge-Proofs, um konkrete Angriffsvektoren zu verbergen. Die Forschung mahnt Entwickler zum raschen Wechsel auf Post-Quantum-Standards.

"Privacy commissioners find TikTok collected sensitive data from Canadian children" https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tiktok-privacy-commissioners-1.7640974

My thoughts on this quote: "Youth may be less aware of privacy risks, and susceptible to the techniques used to capture their attention, induce them to disclose certain information or adopt certain purchasing behaviours"

Ugh. I wish it were just youth... I think the more accurate statement is this:
The majority of people of all ages are not aware of privacy risks and are susceptible to techniques used to capture their attention.

Privacy commissioners find TikTok collected sensitive data from Canadian children | CBC News

The immensely popular social media app TikTok has been collecting sensitive information from hundreds of thousands of Canadians under 13 years old, a joint investigation by privacy authorities found.
