Cover Quote: August 2015

It’s kind of weird because usually when you think about mathematics and proofs you are trying to teach someone something; you want them to learn the proof. In the context of cryptography you want to convince parties of correctness of statement, but you don’t want to let them know anything else. So, you want them to believe you but you don’t want to give them any extra information, hence the zero knowledge term.
