Introduction to Decentralized Identity Verification

Last quarter, our team discovered that our decentralized application was struggling to scale with the increasing number of users. We were using a traditional authentication system, which was not only inefficient but also vulnerable to security threats. That's when we decided to explore the world of zero-knowledge proofs, specifically zkSNARKs and zkSTARKs, for scalable decentralized identity verification.

What are zkSNARKs and zkSTARKs?

zkSNARKs (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge) and zkSTARKs (Zero-Knowledge Scalable Transparent ARguments of Knowledge) are two types of zero-knowledge proof systems. They enable one party to prove that a statement is true without revealing any underlying information. In the context of decentralized identity verification, these systems can be used to verify a user's identity without revealing their personal data.
