Secure Authentication Using a C# Implementation of the Zero Knowledge Proof by Walter Shcoellmann

Description

The proliferation of far–flung distributed processing calls for enterprise architects to be familiar with the various methods of authentication. Zero knowledge proofs that use a cryptographic hash are lightweight alternatives to authentication methods that use public key cryptography. The .NET Framework makes an implementation of a zero knowledge protocol easy. In this article, author Walter Schoellmann takes a look at the Zero Knowledge Proof and walks you through the creation of an application to help you apply the concepts in real–world scenarios.
