🌍 Imagine 24/7 global video surveillance that doesn't compromise privacy

🌍 Imagine 24/7 global video surveillance that doesn't compromise privacy 🤯 Sounds impossible? 😎 Zero-Knowledge Proofs disagree Here's why 🧵👇

📹 Imagine a global network of video cameras, monitoring every corner, every alley, even inside your home 🏠 Sounds like a privacy nightmare, right? 😨 Not necessarily! 😮 With ZKP, we can mathematically guarantee that private data is never stored or shared! 🔐

🔍 The key lies in the verifiable computation model of Zero-Knowledge Proofs 🔑 Instead of trusting third-parties not to misuse data, we rely on cryptographic proofs to ensure privacy 💪 It's not about faith, but rather mathematical certainty 🧮 🔗 https://illya.sh/blog/posts/zksnark-zkstark-verifiable-computation-model-blockchain/

🧩 Here's how a ZKP-powered surveillance system works: 1️⃣ Cameras feed live video into a zkML model 2️⃣ The model labels data as "suspicious" or "non-suspicious" 3️⃣ Only "suspicious" footage is stored & reported 4️⃣ The zkML model is public, ensuring transparency

🔐 zkSNARKs/zkSTARKs can be used to create ZK proofs that attest to the correct execution of the camera's code 📸 👮‍♀️ These proofs, representing an observation of a computation, ensure that non-suspicious video is discarded, thus preserving privacy 👉 Do not trust, verify 👈

🟣 Mina Protocol can implement the foundational layer 🚀 Verification keys that attest to the correct execution of the camera's code can be stored on $MINA 🔑 In practice, this involves commitments and ZKP circuits to the zkML model, thus ensuring the right one is used 🧠

📋 Here's how Mina Protocol blockchain fits into the picture: 1️⃣ zkSNARK circuits verifying camera code execution are stored on Mina 2️⃣ Commitments & ZKP circuits to the zkML model are also stored on the blockchain 3️⃣ All proofs from cameras are submitted & verified against them

🚨 By using Mina Protocol as a public layer for computation proofs, we create an auditable & transparent system 🕵️‍♀️ Anyone can verify that the cameras are operating as promised, without misusing the video data 🔍
