Abhinav Vishnu proposed the PTX protocol in paper, using zkSNARK for asynchronous, non-interactive domain control validation without active servers, anchored via DNS TXT records. Abhinav Vishnu在论文中提出了PTX协议,利用zkSNARK实现异步、非交互式域控制验证,无需活动服务器,通过DNS TXT记录锚定证明。
Notes
PTX protocol uses zkSNARK for asynchronous, non-interactive domain control validation, replacing traditional ACME
Anchors proofs via DNS TXT records, eliminating need for active web servers or open ports
Circuit design binds ephemeral secrets to scoped metadata, enabling client-side verification and privacy
Implemented with Groth16 and Poseidon, only 1,756 constraints, verification under 15ms
Mitigates replay attacks, suitable for serverless, static, and air-gapped deployments
Provides privacy-preserving alternative for identity assertions in decentralized environments
