Examples for adding private inputs
drewstone opened this issue · 3 comments
I am unsure how to leverage private inputs in plonky2 circuits. It seems all the examples deal primarily with public input SNARKs. Is there any example that is purely zero-knowledge?
Hi - any luck here? Thank you.
Maybe if the inputs are not registered as public, the default is to private?

The zero-knowledge property is orthogonal to the statement you want to prove. Proving "The Keccak preimage of foo
is bar
" is different from "I know the Keccak preimage of foo
". In the latter, you do not reveal the preimage but convince the verifier you indeed know it.
You can have a look at the square root example at plonky2/examples/square_root.rs, which deals with something in the lines of the latter example. We prove there that we know a square root of a value which is a public input, but the square root isn't known by the verifier.
