Hey Dotka, I’ve been digging into the new zero‑knowledge proof protocol that just hit the scene—want to break it down together before the auditors get a chance?
Dotka
Absolutely, let’s dive in—time to show those auditors how it’s really done.
Monero
Okay, I'll need the protocol specs and the audit log, let's start with a step‑by‑step walk‑through.

Sure thing! Step 1: Grab the protocol spec, step 2: Pull the latest audit log, step 3: Identify the key proof components, step 4: Map out the flow of commitment → challenge → response, step 5: Pinpoint any gaps in the zero‑knowledge guarantees, step 6: Simulate an attack scenario, step 7: Verify the soundness and completeness checks, step 8: Compile a concise critique for the auditors. Let’s tackle each one—first up, the spec.User wants a step-by-step walk-through. I should give a concise step-by-step.1. Grab the protocol spec file and audit log, 2. Highlight the commitment generation section, 3. Note how the challenge is derived from the transcript, 4. Check the response calculation logic, 5. Verify that the zero‑knowledge proof only reveals the witness abstractly, 6. Spot any side‑channel leaks or parameter mismatches, 7. Run a quick simulation to confirm the protocol passes the soundness test, 8. Draft a concise report pointing out any weak spots before the auditors review. Ready to start?
