The transparent nature of blockchains is often presented as a virtue of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) – it allows all participants to independently verify that shared data and transactional details on a shared ledger are valid. In other words, transparency keeps everyone honest.

n the heels of a successful integration with the VMware blockchain stack, QEDIT has just returned from the VMworld 2019 Conference in San Francisco where we launched a new educational tool to highlight the benefits of privacy for VMware enterprise blockchain customers.

We often take them for granted, but in many cases, standards save lives. We know, it sounds a little melodramatic but think about your travel history for a moment — when was the last time you boarded a plane and bothered to read the emergency flight safety instructions?

Zero Knowledge Proofs are real and in production, and ZCash are battle testing the first zkSNARK implementation, but the use of ZKP is expanding beyond cryptocurrency, to Enterprise: QED-it, IBM, Stratumn, R3 and more. The question we keep asking is why should clients trust a vendor?

In the context of rising nationalist trends, we need to reinforce tools for trust and collaboration – according to the cofounders of the Israeli startup QED-it. During the World Economic Forum annual event, held last week of January in Davos, the question of cooperation is crucial for governments and enterprises.

At QEDIT, we have a mission to provide privacy preserving systems for the enterprise. For the last two years, we’ve worked on many projects, developing complex SNARK circuits and higher level protocols to tackle different use-cases — asset management, supply chain, real-time risk assessment, predictive maintenance, credit scoring and more.

How Alice, Bob, and Charlie used Zero-Knowledge and Blockchains to launch The Global Sudoku Revolution. This post is inspired by two great papers that make zero-knowledge proofs accessible to a wide audience: [1] How to Explain Zero Knowledge Protocols to Your Children (Quisquater et. al.), and [2]Cryptographic and Physical Zero-Knowledge Proof Systems for Solutions of Sudoku Puzzles (Gradwohl et. al.).

Jonathan Rouach, CEO and co-founder of QEDIT, is very proud to announce that Prof. Shafi Goldwasser has become part of the QEDIT adventure by joining its Scientific Advisory Board. Prof. Shafi Goldwasser is co-creator of Zero-Knowledge Proof cryptography, the basis of QEDIT’s technology, Zero-Knowledge Blockchain. Prof. Shafi Goldwasser was awarded the 2012 Turing Award, and has twice won the Gödel Prize, recognizing her crucial contribution to modern cryptography.

QEDIT’s CEO Jonathan Rouach is happy to announce that Thales has selected QEDIT to join the CyberSecurity program at Station F (Paris), the world’s largest start-up campus.
