It's not zero knowledge; if I record it then someone else will be convinced that Ali Baba knows the secret. A normal interactive ZKP should not have such a prop

- n4r9 10y ago> if I record it then someone else will be convinced that Ali Baba knows the secret Isn't that exactly what they're trying to do? Prove that Mick Ali knows the secret? I thought the zero-knowledge part is in showing that Mick Ali knows the secret but without knowing/revealing the secret itself. EDIT: On a second reading I see your point. The paper says "the reporter could not pass on his conviction to the judges".
- Spivak 10y agoBut nothing about the story will actually change. The second reporter will use editing to make the the actor appear to go in the left and come out the right. Then when they go before the judge there's no difference between the real and fake tapes so it's again unconvincing. Since the author allowed the use of video editing in the story anything that isn't seen in person is unconvincing.
