Privacy-preserving Computation in Plain Sight
Blockchain & Cryptoanalytics
Technical talk, Educational talk
Beginner to Intermediate
Web 3.0 technology offers a decentralized and trustless execution environment, ensuring data integrity and verifiable correctness of computations using smart contracts. This transparency is one of the core strengths of Web 3.0 but also one of the main obstacles to utilizing this technology in enterprise applications where privacy preservation is imperative. To address these privacy concerns and enable a wide range of new use cases that can harvest the benefits of Web 3.0 technology, advanced cryptographic methods such as Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) have emerged. ZKPs allow verification of computations without revealing the underlying data, while FHE enables computation on encrypted inputs, ensuring that private information remains hidden even to entities who perform the computations.
