Title: Zero-Knowledge Proof and its Applications on Bitcoin
Abstract: Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) contract is among the most sophisticated smart contracts running on a blockchain today. Conventionally, Bitcoin has been associated only with simple payments and deemed infeasible to run ZK applications.
We demonstrate not only can Bitcoin run existing ZK applications on other blockchains more economically today, it can also support ZK apps unviable on other blockchains.

Abstract:

With the advent of blockchain technologies, we can create economic incentives and reward Internet participants for packet routing and data distribution and transfers. In this research we propose a protocol that makes use of a blockchain network in order to coordinate and reward participants of a general network for (1) accepting new participants in a network, (2) data packet routing and (3) data transfers. By using IPv6 together with blockchain technology, we guarantee that data is transmitted from a sending entity if and only if the payment is made by the receiving entity, and no non-authorized entity can benefit from this exchange. We expand the protocol by introducing pricing models that participants can implement or use as a service in order to have knowledge of how much each routing or data transfer costs. Finally, we show how such a protocol can benefit from a modularisation of services where certain participants can be registered to perform certain services and this is attested on the blockchain. In this final point we discuss the application of such an architecture to IoT edge computing.
