Hello Noir! [Part 2]
Using Barretenberg to generate and verify proofs, deploying a Solidity verifier with Foundry, and understanding the trust model.
Hello Noir! [Part 1]
Setting up the environment and getting an idea what and how will be used.
Lagrange interpolation: turning points into a polynomial
You have a list of points. Lagrange interpolation gives you the one polynomial that passes through all of them. Here's why ZK proofs care.
The Fiat-Shamir transform: how a hash function replaces a conversation
Schnorr signatures started as a back-and-forth conversation. Fiat-Shamir turned that conversation into a one-liner. Here's how a hash function replaces a trusted stranger.
Digital signatures: Schnorr, ECDSA and how PS3 was hacked
You made it through elliptic curves. Now let's see how they're actually used - signing things, proving identity, and why reusing a nonce will ruin your life.
Private keys and elliptic curves: a deep-dive for people who don't like math
You don't need a math degree to understand elliptic curve cryptography. You just need to understand why spilled rice is more secure than a snake.
