DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will introduce and overview zero-knowledge pr
 oofs. First\, I will describe the idea of interactive proofs invented by G
 oldwasser\, Micali\, and Rackoff. Then\, I will define the zero-knowledge 
 property that allows a prover to convince a verifier of the veracity of a 
 statement without revealing any information besides that. After showing so
 me classic examples of zero-knowledge protocols\, I will introduce zkSNARK
 s — zero-knowledge proofs that are powerful and efficient enough to be p
 ractical and demonstrate their use cases.\n\nPlease sign-up at the followi
