Quantum-Assisted Zero-Knowledge Proofs (Q-ZKPs)

Introduction

Quantum-assisted zero-knowledge Proofs (Q-ZKPs) are an advanced cryptographic method for verifying transactions without revealing sensitive information.

NovaNet integrates Quantum-Assisted ZK-Proofs to:

• Enhance privacy and confidentiality while maintaining blockchain integrity
• Accelerate proof generation and verification using Quantum Dot Processing Units (QD-PUs)
• Prevent future attacks by integrating Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)
• Optimize transaction scalability with Quantum Batch Processing

1. How Q-ZKPs Work

Step 1: Zero-Knowledge Proof Generation

A ZKP allows one party (the prover) to prove to another party (the verifier) that a statement is true without revealing any other information.

NovaNet’s Q-ZKPs improve upon traditional ZKPs by:

• Using Quantum-Assisted Hashing for faster proof computations
• Implementing Quantum Entangled States to prevent proof manipulation
• Accelerating proof verification using Quantum Dot Processors (QD-PUs)

Mathematical Model:

A standard Zero-Knowledge Proof operates using the following equation:

$$ P_{ZK} = H_m(T) $$

Where:

• $$H_m(T)$$ is the traditional cryptographic hash of a transaction $$T$$

NovaNet’s Q-ZKPs introduce a quantum-enhanced variation:

$$ P_{QZK} = H_q(T) $$

Where:

• $$H_q(T) = H_m(T) \times QR_h$$ (Quantum-Enhanced Hashing)
• $$QR_h$$ represents the quantum entropy factor

• Quantum-assisted hashing reduces computational complexity
• Prevents classical brute-force decryption attacks

Step 2: Quantum Dot Processing for Proof Acceleration

Traditional ZKPs require significant computational resources, leading to high latency.
NovaNet’s Q-ZKPs leverage Quantum Dot Processors (QD-PUs) to speed up proof generation.

Mathematical Model:

$$ P_{ZK} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{N}} \sum_{i=1}^{N} |T_i\rangle $$

• Quantum Superposition enables simultaneous proof computation
• Reduces verification time from minutes to milliseconds

Step 3: Post-Quantum Security & Proof Verification

NovaNet’s Q-ZKPs integrate Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to ensure future security.

Quantum-Secured ZK Verification Model:

$$V_{QZK} = V_m \times QR_v$$

Where:

• $$V_m$$ is the classical verifier function
• $$QR_v$$ represents quantum randomness

• Prevents attacks from future quantum computers
• Ensures that ZK-Proofs remain resistant to decryption
