🔑 **Zero-knowledge proofs** are a way to prove a statement is true without revealing anything beyond the truthiness of the statement. In the map 3-coloring problem, ZK allows you to prove that you can color in each region on a map using one of three colors, such that no two adjacent regions are the same color, without having to show how you colored the map.

**Fully Homomorphic Encryption** let’s you make computations without decrypting the data you are working with.
