A signature is a PoK, but not ZK.
- piotr93 2y agoI was not clear enough, thanks. Whether it is a pok or zk depends on the chosen signature scheme. In any case, zk signature schemes exist and are implied by the existence of one way functions and publicly verifiable nizk
- somezero 2y ago> zk signature schemes exist and are implied by the existence of one way functions and publicly verifiable nizk. Almost. The result is from CRYPTO89 paper of Bellare and Goldwasser. They derive a signature scheme from a nizk. It is not known whether you can get a nizk from a signature scheme. Moreover, no signature scheme can be a ZK: https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/35177/is-using-digital-signatures-to-prove-identity-a-zero-knowledge-proof/35185#35185 https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/35177/is-using-di...
