Zenroom: Simplifying Cryptographic Operations

Zenroom is a super tiny, secure and open source Virtual Machine that puts the power of very complicated cryptographic operations in the hands of everyday people.

Cryptographic tech, such as Digital Identity or Blockchain, is hard to grasp. Even harder to work with. Don't speak SECP256K1, BLS381 or ED25519? There's no shame in that. But it can be problematic: without understanding code or the basics, a layperson needs to rely on the trust they place in their assigned expert. But what if you were able to perform and verify advanced cryptographic computations in plain English? The code names above are different types of elliptic curves leveraged in some of the most popular blockchains (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc...) Zenroom supports signatures and pairing with many of those.

Because it leverages Zencode, Zenroom has a "no-coding" approach. Meaning that you can work with very complicated concepts using the English language. Effectively simplifying the verification that an operation indeed does what it is supposed to. But Zenroom does not intend to eliminate developers from your business operation. Instead it aims at eliminating the gap between developers and business operation. It is built by people for people.

Seeing it in action helps understanding. In the coming weeks we'll be publishing highlights of application leveraging Zenroom to accomplish marvelous things!
