[comp.protocols.kerberos] Request for pointers to articles on "Zero Knowledge Proofs"

userSUPY@ualtamts.BITNET (Allen George Supynuk) (08/24/89)

A few months ago, John Kohl of Project Athena was kind enough
to give a talk at a local workshop about Kerberos.  During this
talk he mentioned that "Zero Knowledge Proofs" had been considered
(and discarded because the theory was not yet mature) as a method
of performing network authentication.
 
I am in the process of looking for a topic for a Master's Thesis
in Computing Science.  I have searched through several indices of
articles and found no listing under "Zero Knowledge Proofs", though
I found an ACM article on how to send passwords over an open line.
 
Any pointers would be gratefully received.  I'll post a summary to
the net.
