Cool, looking forward to it! I tried looking ZKAPs but I couldn’t find a paper or abstract. If there are any available it would be great to share them here so people can do some reading beforehand and ask good questions! :slight_smile:

Hi Barbra
As of now there isn’t a paper or abstract, this concept originated from PrivacyPass then we adapted some functionality of Privacy Pass for the intended specific use in Tahoe-LAFS. It’s still in development and we hope to put out a paper but don’t have exact plans around this yet. You can read more about ZKAPs and how it came about in this blog post. We will also have slides to send out after the talk.

See you there! Let us know if you have any other questions.
