Title: Zero-Knowledge Proofs of Knowledge

Abstract. Since their introduction in the 80's
zero-knowledge proofs of knowledge have been proven
to be one of the most indispensable tools in cryptographic
protocol design. In this talk we will review some classic
results in the design of such protocols as well as
present some of their major applications.
