* [Part 5: How Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) Enable Smarter Customer Insights, With Less Liability](https://www.evernym.com/blog/zero-knowledge-proofs/)
  > Put simply, most organizations are unthinkingly collecting more data from customers, without understanding the true impact: the real costs to themselves, and to customers.

  > This problem was first explored by MIT researchers Shafi Goldwasser, Silvio Micali and Charles Rackoff in the 1980s as a way of combatting information leakage. The goal is to reduce the amount of extra information the verifier, Victor, can learn about the prover, Peggy.
