| | CIS: Zero-Knowledge Proofs |
 | | Zero-knowledge proofs were introduced by Goldwasser, Micali and Rackoff in The Knowledge Complexity of Interactive Proof Systems (SIAM J. of Comuting, January 1989). |
 | | Concurrent executions of a zero-knowledge protocol by a single prover (with one or more verifiers) may leak information and may not be zero-knowledge in toto; for example, in the case of zero-knowledge interactive proofs or arguments, the interactions remain proofs but may fail to remain zero-knowledge. |
 | | An interactive proof system (or argument) (P,V) is concurrent zero-knowledge if whenever the prover engages in polynomially many concurrent executions of (P,V), with (possibly distinct) colluding polynomial time bounded verifiers V1,..., V{poly(n)}, the entire undertaking is zero-knowledge. |
