- This paper presents the underpinning research that presented NZKP, a novel non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs protocol. The protocol extends Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices in reduced connectivity environments with new capability to perform authentication processes without storing authentication data on devices. This helps to eliminate a prominent attack vector and enhance cyber resilience. Furthermore, the efficiency in energy consumption of the NZKP protocol makes it a better option compared to traditional public/private key infrastructure which comes with additional computation and maintenance costs.
