| Aug 11, 2017 at 10:24 | comment | added | Lewis Barber | Luca, this is indeed the solution that solves the problem. Periodically proving the balance exists in accounts B and C, by sending to account A and back again is sufficient for my use case. Amazing that sometimes the simplest solutions are the best! Thanks! | |
| Aug 10, 2017 at 22:03 | comment | added | Luca Ghidelli | Since is a real-life problem, I think we should first agree on a mathematical model for it. (What kind of request can one send to the bank? What are the admissible operations on the money? Is it hypothetical virtual banking?) For example, a maximal hypothesis is that the bank can act as a trusted third. In this case the bank can just state the truth without disclosing any sensible information. If otherwise you can only transfer money and read transactions, then you can only 0-prove that account A has at least X money, and B has at least Y: transfer to C and give back. Everybody can read. | |

| Aug 8, 2017 at 15:05 | comment | added | Lewis Barber | I have heard of Zcash, but I think their implementation is overly complicated for the application I have in mind - it involves converting a program into a arithmetic circuit, which would particularly arduous for a complex piece of software. I cross-posted on the Crypto Stack Exchange as I thought that might be a better place for the question... I found that site after this one! | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 12:18 | comment | added | Joseph Van Name | Lewis. Have you heard of Zcash? Zcash is a cryptocurrency that uses zero-knowledge proofs to conceal the data of transactions. The Zcash website says "Zcash payments are published on a public blockchain, but the sender, recipient, and amount of a transaction remain private." | |

| Aug 8, 2017 at 11:59 | comment | added | Joseph Van Name | I have voted to reopen this question. Zero-knowledge proofs are cryptographic protocols that do require research level mathematics. I find this question to be interesting for mathematical reasons and I would be glad to see what applications mathematics has to bank balances. Finally, MO should encourage new users to ask questions if those questions require research level mathematics. | |

| Aug 8, 2017 at 8:15 | comment | added | David White | Welcome to math overflow! I think this question might be better received if you included a one-sentence definition of a "zero knowledge proof." I was getting ready to vote to close, because questions about bank balances are basically never on topic, but then googled "zero knowledge proof" and realized what this was about. BTW, I don't know the answer. | |
