In this article we'll explain the math behind ZKPs. Accessible to a smart high school student, or a rusty STEM graduate. Develop intuition for how things work under the hood, and build a foundational framework for the key concepts involved. Accompanied by a toy implementation in less than 100 lines of code. No polynomials or elliptic curves necessary.

Learn to write and modify Zero Knowledge Proofs from scratch. You'll build a digital signature scheme using hash-based commitments, gaining practical ZKP programming skills and intuition along the way. By the end, you'll have all the tools you need to implement things like group signatures.

Zero Knowledge Proofs are magic. They allow us to do things we couldn't dream of before. This is the first in a series of posts on Zero Knowledge Proofs and their application. In it we'll look at what Zero Knowledge Proofs are, why you should care, how they work, and see where they can be used.
