《Vitalik Shanghai Speech: The History of Cryptography and the Significance of ZK》 Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin reviewed the development of cryptographic technology over the past half-century, from the birth of signature and encryption algorithms to the widespread adoption of HTTPS, highlighting that the key to large-scale application lies in reducing technological costs. Vitalik focused on breakthroughs in zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) in scalability, security, and privacy protection, stating that as performance improves and costs decrease, ZK will become a default component of blockchain systems. He emphasized that ZK's privacy attributes are as important as the security of trusted hardware, introducing a new perspective: 'If it’s not your silicon (hardware), it’s not your private key.'
