The Future Is Trustless: How ZkVMS And ZkTLS Transform Bug Bounty Programs - Nullcon Goa 2025

A conference talk from nullcon Goa 2025 exploring how zero-knowledge proof technologies are revolutionizing bug bounty programs. Discover how zkVMS (Zero-Knowledge Virtual Machines) allows security researchers to cryptographically prove vulnerability existence without revealing exploit code or sensitive details. Learn about zkTLS (Zero-Knowledge Transport Layer Security) and its capability to verify network interactions like HTTP requests leading to SQL injections while keeping actual payloads confidential. This 41-minute presentation by Anto Joseph demonstrates how these trustless technologies are creating more secure and efficient vulnerability disclosure processes in the cybersecurity landscape.
