TLS & zkTLS & ZKON Network

This article explains TLS 1.3, zkTLS and the ZKON Network, and argues that ZKON can turn outside data into private, verifiable commitments for blockchains. It describes TLS 1.3 as a protocol with ephemeral keys that protect past sessions and a one-round-trip handshake, and says zkTLS combines TLS with zero-knowledge proofs, MPC and TEEs. Examples given include proving a bank balance to borrow on a blockchain lending protocol without revealing the amount, and proving identity or a passport without sharing personal data.
