Interactive proof system — In computational complexity theory, an interactive proof system is an abstract machine that models computation as the exchange of messages between two parties. The parties, the verifier and the prover, interact by exchanging messages in order to… … Wikipedia
Interactive theorem proving — is the field of computer science and mathematical logic concerned with tools to develop formal proofs by man machine collaboration. This involves some sort of proof assistant: an interactive proof editor, or other interface, with which a human… … Wikipedia
Proof of knowledge — In cryptography, a proof of knowledge is an interactive proof in which the prover succeeds convincing a verifier that it knows something. What it means for a machine to know something is defined in terms of computation. A machine knows something … Wikipedia
Proof theory — is a branch of mathematical logic that represents proofs as formal mathematical objects, facilitating their analysis by mathematical techniques. Proofs are typically presented as inductively defined data structures such as plain lists, boxed… … Wikipedia
List of interactive geometry software — Interactive geometry software (IGS, or dynamic geometry environments, DGEs) are computer programs which allow one to create and then manipulate geometric constructions, primarily in plane geometry. In most IGS, one starts construction by putting… … Wikipedia
Proof-of-work system — A Proof of work ( POW ) system (or protocol, or function) is an economic measure to deter denial of service attacks and other service abuses such as spams on a network by requiring some work from the service requester, usually meaning processing… … Wikipedia
Zero-knowledge proof — In cryptography, a zero knowledge proof or zero knowledge protocol is an interactive method for one party to prove to another that a (usually mathematical) statement is true, without revealing anything other than the veracity of the statement.A… … Wikipedia
Non-interactive zero-knowledge proof — Non interactive zero knowledge proofs are a variant of zero knowledge proofs. Blum, Feldman, and Micali [1] showed that a common reference string shared between the prover and the verifier is enough to achieve computational zero knowledge without … Wikipedia
Probabilistically checkable proof — In computational complexity theory, a probabilistically checkable proof (PCP) is a type of proof that can be checked by a randomized algorithm using a bounded amount of randomness and reading a bounded number of bits of the proof. The algorithm… … Wikipedia
Computer-assisted proof — A computer assisted proof is a mathematical proof that has been at least partially generated by computer. Most computer aided proofs to date have been implementations of large proofs by exhaustion of a mathematical theorem. The idea is to use a… … Wikipedia
