1//! # Zero-Knowledge Proofs for Privacy-Preserving Authorization
2//!
3//! Prove permissions without revealing relation tuples.
4//!
5//! This module provides zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) primitives for authorization:
6//! - **zkSNARKs**: Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge
7//! - **Bulletproofs**: Range proofs for attribute-based access control
8//! - **Privacy-Preserving Checks**: Prove permission without revealing tuple details
9//!
10//! ## Use Cases
11//!
12//! 1. **Confidential Authorization**: Prove access rights without exposing sensitive relationships
13//! 2. **Compliance**: Demonstrate authorization without revealing user identities
14//! 3. **Multi-Party Authorization**: Aggregate proofs from multiple parties
15//! 4. **Audit Privacy**: Prove compliance without exposing full audit trail
16//!
17//! ## Example
18//!
19//! ```no_run
20//! use oxify_authz::zkp::*;
21//!
22//! # async fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
23//! // Create ZKP prover
24//! let mut prover = ZkProver::new();
25//!
26//! // Generate proof that alice can view document:123
27//! let proof = prover.prove_permission(
28//! "alice",
29//! "document:123",
30//! "viewer",
31//! &["owner", "editor", "viewer"], // Permission hierarchy
32//! )?;
33//!
34//! // Verify proof without knowing which specific permission alice has
35//! let mut verifier = ZkVerifier::new();
36//! assert!(verifier.verify_permission_proof(&proof)?);
37//! # Ok(())
38//! # }
39//! ```
40//!
41//! ## Security Considerations
42//!
43//! - **Trusted Setup**: Some zkSNARK schemes require trusted setup ceremony
44//! - **Performance**: ZKP verification is ~1-10ms (acceptable for authorization)
45//! - **Proof Size**: ~200-2000 bytes depending on scheme
46//!
47//! ## Implementation Status
48//!
49//! This is a **research implementation** providing the framework for ZKP integration.
50//! Production deployment requires:
51//! - Integration with `ark-snark` or `bellman` for zkSNARKs
52//! - Trusted setup ceremony for production circuits
53//! - Performance benchmarking for authorization workloads
