= Proof of knowledge
{wiki=Proof_of_knowledge}
Proof of knowledge is a concept in cryptography and computer science that pertains to demonstrating that a party (the prover) possesses certain information (usually a secret or private key) without revealing the information itself. It is often associated with zero-knowledge proofs, which are protocols that allow one party to prove to another that they know a value (like a password or cryptographic key) without disclosing the value itself.
