Methods and systems are presented for generating a zero-knowledge, or other, proof for a prover (user) in need of specialized services for generating a zero-knowledge proof. The prover transmits a proof request comprising a witness and a statement to an orchestrator. The orchestrator determines an optimal zero-knowledge proof system for the particular statement and witness. It then transmits the proof request to a prover network with the optimal proof system to generate a zero-knowledge proof in an efficient manner. The proof is then transmitted back to the orchestrator and/or published or otherwise made available.

Methods and systems for selecting an optimal proof system for zero-knowledge and other proofs

A method of securing electronic computer files includes having a client-based application running in the background with a kernel extension and a communication channel over a network to a server. The client app. can intercept an interprocess communication for opening a file and then collect a swath of fingerprint information about the requesting process and the state of the computer. The fingerprint information is sent to the server, optionally through a Signal Protocol message hidden by steganography in an image. Based on the fingerprint information, the server sends a key and/or a command back, optionally through steganography, to the client. The file is then accessed and decrypted&#x2014;or accessed and not decrypted&#x2014;based on the server key and command. The command can include instructions to gather more data from the user or about the computer before allowing access.
