How do ZK proofs differ from multi-party computations (MPC)? đ¤
With ZK proofs, one person has private data and can prove something about it.
Example: Letâs say you want to do a transaction with someone and you want to show them you have enough money. You could prove that without revealing the actual amount.
With MPC, you can have many people with private data, and you can run a more complex query - a computation.
Example: Letâs say you want to calculate an average salary of 3 friends without anyone revealing their salary. Each person could break down their salary into three parts that sum to the total (e.g. for 150 it might be 50 +500 -400). They give just one piece of that sum to each of the others. These are then summed together and eventually divided to calculate the average. Without anyone knowing anything they shouldn't.
That is one way that MPC can work.
Replace salary with any confidential data in this example and you get the idea!
So, ZK proofs are like binary MPC for 1 person.
Each for different use cases. đ¤
Partisia empowers complete data privacy at rest, in transit and in use through MPC, unlocking major use cases in AI, DeFI, Healthcare, RegTech, ID and more.
Our founder Ivan, co inventor of the Merkle-Damgard hash function and pioneer of MPC since 1988, explains.đđ
