Zero-knowledge proofs are probabilistic and interactive proofs that efficiently demonstrate membership in the language without conveying any additional knowledge. The wide applicability of zero-knowledge was demonstrated in Proofs that Yield Nothing But their Validity or All Languages in NP have Zero-Knowledge Proofs, coauthored by Goldreich, Micali and Wigderson [JACM, July 1991].
