🌍 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 🧮

🧩 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 🔍
