Primes

• Fault Tolerance

  • This sourceDecentralized anonymous payment scheme using zk-SNARKs. Bibliography-only entry, not cited in the body and topically unrelated to fault tolerance (likely a stray entry).

• Zero Knowledge Proof
  • Cryptography: zk-SNARKs and zk-STARKs power privacy-preserving blockchains, anonymous credentials, and verifiable computation.

    This sourceDemonstrates zk-SNARKs powering a privacy-preserving blockchain — the applied verifiable-computation/anonymous-payment use of zero-knowledge.

    Supported in partVerified against the work's full text

    Zerocash shows zk-SNARKs underpinning a privacy-preserving Bitcoin-style ledger; it says nothing about zk-STARKs, anonymous credentials or verifiable computation as applications.

Mechanisms

• Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Proof
  • The proof reveals which note or how much was moved to no one.

    This sourceStates that Zerocash payment proofs reveal neither the spent note nor the transferred amount.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 3 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
