Questions tagged [schnorr-identification]
The Schnorr Identification Protocol relies upon the security of the Discrete Logarithm Problem. Schnorr's protocol was introduced after, and is comparable to, the identification protocol of Fiat and Shamir and that of Guillou-Quisquater.

Schnorr authentication protocol vs Schnorr signature Scheme
As I understand the schnorr authentication protocol is an interactive protocol where a prover WLOG proves to a Verifier that he possesses the discrete log to some group element.
If we use the Fiat-...

Schnorr protocol is witness-hiding?
Regular 3-steps Schnorr protocol is a proof of knowledge system for discrete logarithm.
It's honest-verifier zero-knowledge,
but not full zero-knowledge.
My question is, is it witness-hiding?

Could Diffie-Hellman protocol serve as a zero-knowledge proof of knowledge of discrete logarithm?
The Schnorr identification protocol is widely recognized as the simplest ZKPoK of the discrete logarithm (more clearly, Honest-Verifier ZKPoK).
However, I can't figure out why this simple protocol, ...

Sigma protocol for AND-composition involving the same secret
Say we have two public cyclic groups $G_1$, $G_2$ of corresponding prime orders $p_1$, $p_2$, and known generators $g_1$, $g_2$.
