VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Show your support by donating any amount. (Note: We are still technically a for-profit company, so your contribution is not tax-deductible.) PayPal Acct: Feedback:

Z
Zero knowledge
A form of authentication in which the object demonstrates that it knows a secret, without disclosing that secret to the challenger (who may not know the secret). Most zero knowledge tests make use of public key cryptography, where the secret represents the private key or a function thereof. See also "challenge-response".
