Explaining SNARKs Part II: Blind Evaluation of Polynomials

<< Part I In this post, we recall the notion of a polynomial, and explain the notion of “blind evaluation”

Our team is continually working to improve the security, performance and usability of our privacy-preserving shielded transactions. As we mentioned

Constructions of zk-SNARKs involve a careful combination of several ingredients; fully understanding how these ingredients all work together can take

The SHA-1 hash function, which has long been considered insecure, is now officially broken as of yesterday. Given the renewed

As a security-focused team, made up of world-class talent, we prioritize the security of Zcash users. True security comes from

At its core, Zcash’s privacy technology relies on a novel cryptographic tool called a zkSNARK – a small zero-knowledge proof

Our mission is to make the first open financial technology with zero-knowledge privacy, for every person in the world to

Pairing cryptography is an exciting area of research, and an essential component of Zcash’s zkSNARKs — proofs that transactions are

Today, we deployed a new alpha release of the Zcash reference implementation, v0.11.2.z3, to the testnet. The new release includes

Intro by Zooko I’ve worked in cryptography, information security, and digital money for half of my life (20 years, but

There are a lot of cryptographic challenges to making a fully secure and reliable open financial system. Our current top
