Let's face it, ZK proofs are intimidating. But they don't have to be! ZK proofs are complex not because of the depth math they use, but because of the large number of fields of mathematics they leverage features from. In this talk, we'll break down STARK proofs into simple blocks and colorful analogies so that you get a good high level overview of how they work Speaker(s): Henri Skill level: Intermediate Track: Applied Cryptography Keywords: ZKP, Use cases of cryptography, STARK, eli5 Follow us: https://twitter.com/efdevcon, https://twitter.com/ethereum, https://warpcast.com/devcon Learn more about devcon: https://www.devcon.org/ Learn more about ethereum: https://ethereum.org/ Visit the https://archive.devcon.org/ to gain access to the entire library of Devcon talks with the ease of filtering, playlists, personalized suggestions, decentralized access on Swarm, IPFS and more.
