Let's say you have a colorblind friend - how can you convince them that red is different from green if they biologically cannot see the difference? ZKPs: zero-knowledge proofs! These are a state of the art cryptographic method for proving the veracity of certain statements without revealing anything except that the statement is true. When paired with the post-quantum security guarantees of code-based cryptography, your personal information could not be safer - but how do code-based ZKPs work? Join Freeman Slaughter and Rigo Salazar for a primer on code-based ZKPs, how they work to thwart quantum adversaries, and what YOU can do to protect yourself.
