以零知識證明建立可信的隱私保護資料使用機制

Abstract

隨著人工智慧技術的飛速發展，數據分析在各領域展現出巨大的應用潛力和商業價值。然而，數據分析依賴於大量涉及個人隱私的數據，這引發了對隱私保護的高度關注。現有的去識別化技術雖然可以在一定程度上保護隱私，但仍存在數據質量和準確性受損的問題。此外，合約和第三方稽核機構在保護資料隱私方面也面臨著效率和成本的挑戰。本篇論文提出了一套基於公開金鑰基礎建設和零知識證明的資料交換系統，以應對上述問題。公開金鑰基礎建設技術能夠提供安全的身份驗證和數據加密，確保數據在傳輸過程中的安全性。零知識證明技術則允許在不洩露原始數據的前提下進行數據分析，僅返回分析結果，從而大大降低了隱私洩露的風險。此外，零知識證明還能生成與原始資料無關的證明，使稽核過程自動化並降低稽核成本。這套資料交換系統預期能夠在不損害數據質量的前提下，有效保護隱私資料，提升數據分析的效率和安全性。儘管零知識證明技術需要耗費大量算力，計算成本和時間成本需要進一步評估，但其在隱私保護和稽核自動化方面的優勢，使其成為解決數據分析中隱私保護問題的有效方法。

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, data analysis has demonstrated significant application potential and commercial value across various fields. However, data analysis relies heavily on vast amounts of personal data, raising serious concerns about privacy protection. Existing de-identification techniques can protect privacy to some extent, but they often compromise data quality and accuracy. Additionally, contracts and third-party auditing organizations face efficiency and cost challenges in safeguarding data privacy.This paper proposes a data exchange system based on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) to address these issues. PKI technology provides secure authentication and data encryption, ensuring data security during transmission. Zero-Knowledge Proof technology allows data analysis without revealing the original data, returning only the analysis results, thus significantly reducing the risk of privacy leakage. Furthermore, Zero-Knowledge Proofs can generate proofs unrelated to the original data, automating the auditing process and reducing audit costs.This data exchange system is expected to effectively protect privacy data and enhance the efficiency and security of data analysis without compromising data quality. Although Zero-Knowledge Proof technology requires substantial computational power and its computational and time costs need further evaluation, its advantages in privacy protection and audit automation make it an effective solution to privacy issues in data analysis.
