Abstract:

This talk offers an intuitive introduction to zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) for readers who often see them in papers but find them confusing. I will discuss how to approach ZKP sections when you are not specializing in the area, why some constructions look so complicated, and how completeness, soundness, and zero-knowledge can be understood through simple examples.
