  • Publication number: 20250106046
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data management are described. A server may receive a plurality of parts of a secret from a computing device, where the plurality of parts may be individually encrypted and individually associated with respective public parts. The server may transmit a random challenge to the computing device. The computing device may transmit, to the server, a subset of parts in a decrypted state. The server may determine, using the subset of decrypted parts and a corresponding subset of respective public parts, that the subset of decrypted parts corresponds to a polynomial function with a degree corresponding to a quantity of parts in the subset of decrypted parts. The server may verify that the individually encrypted plurality of parts corresponds to a secret based on determining that the subset of decrypted parts corresponds to the polynomial function.

  • Publication number: 20250007891
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for private identity verification involve obtaining a cryptographically secure commitment that is generated using a first user identifier and a private user identifier associated with the first user identifier; receiving, from an identity verification system, initial zero knowledge proof messages comprising the commitment; sending, to the identity verification system, a set of cryptographically secure known identifier commitments generated using a set of private user identifiers; receiving, from the identity verification system: (i) a zero knowledge proof response generated using the zero knowledge proof challenge; and (ii) proof that the private user identifier used in the initial zero knowledge proof messages comprises part of the set of private user identifiers; and verifying that the private user identifier used in the initial zero knowledge proof messages comprises part of the set of private user identifiers.
