RE: Physical Cryptography: Nuclear Disarmament and Zero-Knowledge Proofs
That's well explained post considering I have no qualifications in any science whatsoever apart from what I remember at school.
I'll be honest, I had to read over some parts a few times but I get the general concept without fully understanding it all.
I often wonder (particularly recently with what's going on in the world) why other countries struggle to produce nuclear weapons but you cleared that up when you mentioned that they are all different types of nuclear weapons.
So it seems like a great way of finding out whether or not a countries nuclear arsenal has been reduced or not.
The next problem though, would be to find out whether a country is hiding more than they claim to have, or would you know if that is easy to find out or not?
As I said though, great post and my mind has been blown but all knowledge is good knowledge! :)
Thanks for the comment! Indeed the process introduced here still requires that the government give access to their nuclear weapons, which could be unlikely. Probably if someone has something to hide, they will find a way to hide it.
It's interesting nonetheless. If even it was something that would help them reduce their known nuclear weapons arsenal, then it can't be a bad thing.
Thanks :)
