Description

Welcome to the ZKP in Rust course! Thank you for showing interest in acquiring comprehensive knowledge about Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) algorithms, their practical implementation in computer programs, and the intricacies of Rust and its cryptographic crates.

This course is meticulously designed to cater to individuals who seek a profound understanding of ZKP algorithms and their real-world applications. Divided into four main sections, the course will take you on a journey through the following key areas:

1. Theoretical Foundations: You will receive a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts underlying ZKP protocols. Gain insights into how ZKP works and understand its significance in ensuring privacy and security.

2. Rust Implementation: Dive into the practical implementation of ZKP protocols in Rust. Learn to build the main library required to execute ZKP protocols efficiently, leveraging the power and flexibility of the Rust programming language.

3. Client/Server System: Explore the development of a robust client/server system using the gRPC communication protocol in Rust. Acquire hands-on experience in building a secure and efficient communication infrastructure for ZKP-based applications.

4. Chaum-Pedersen Protocol: Delve deep into the Chaum-Pedersen ZKP protocol, a groundbreaking approach for user registration and login without compromising password security. Uncover the intricacies of this protocol and learn to implement it effectively in real-world scenarios.

Throughout the course, you will actively engage with Rust and its cryptographic crates, equipping yourself with the necessary skills and expertise to build secure systems that prioritize user privacy. By the course's end, you will possess the knowledge and practical experience required to implement ZKP protocols confidently and develop applications that ensure data confidentiality.

Let's embark on this exciting journey by establishing a solid foundation in ZKP and exploring one of the notable protocols: the Chaum-Pedersen protocol.
