FERMAT

The Fermat Project is part of a great story that started at ancient Greece with Pythagoras and of course it also involves Pierre de Fermat. Here I tell the complete story up to the very moment I became part of&nbsp;it.

The Internet of People uses a new type of cryptographically secured data structure called the graphchain. The main difference between a graphchain and a blockchain is that the first acts as a cryptographically secured data structure, in which no blocks or transactions have to be&nbsp;stored.

Perhaps the most powerful cryptographic technology to come out of the last decade is general-purpose succinct zero knowledge proofs, usually called zk-SNARKs.

How Are zk-SNARKs Possible?

Public key cryptography seems magical to everyone, even those who understand it. In this post, I’m going to explain public key cryptography. Public Key Cryptography is based on asymmetric cryptography, so first let us talk about symmetric cryptography.

A curious email hit my inbox this week. A friend, on behalf of his friend, sent me an outline of a mathematical proof. I routinely get these emails, but they usually originate from students looking to validate their solutions to a problem set. This was different: the proof in question is of the Twin Prime conjecture; one of the great unresolved mysteries of <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/mathematics" target="_blank">mathematics</a>. The author was seeking a sanity check on his approach. If his argument proves valid, my friend’s friend will have his name etched in mathematical folklore. I may even make the footnote as his great enabler.

A friend sent me a proposed proof of a famous unsolved maths problem — so why haven’t I read it?
