If a data custodian wants to demonstrate to an auditor the integrity of financial records using a zero-knowledge proof, which outcome is most likely?

💡 Explanation

Zero-knowledge proofs leverage the interactive protocol mechanism to allow a prover to convince a verifier that a statement is true without conveying any information beyond the veracity of the statement; because the soundness and completeness properties hold, integrity can be validated without data disclosure; therefore, confidentiality is preserved, rather than revealing data.
