0Payment Network’s cryptography technology – zero-knowledge proof, a security solution to protect file data privacy – ABC6
For example, the current website stores the hash value of the user’s password in its web server. In order to verify that the client really knows the password, most websites currently use a method that requires the client to enter a hash of the password and compare it to the stored result. Zero-knowledge proof can protect user accounts from being leaked. If zero-knowledge proof can be implemented, the client password is unknown to anyone, but the client login can still be authenticated. When the server is attacked, the user’s account is still secure because its password is not stored in the web server.
