Section 4: ZkProver Interaction
To clearly explain the control flow between zkProver, nodes and database, we can use a simplified flow diagram. Please note that the actual process may vary depending on the specific application scenario and system complexity. Here is a basic flowchart example:
This diagram describes the following steps:
zkProver sends a request to the node to obtain certain data.
After the node receives the request, it retrieves the required data from the database.
The node processes this data and sends it to zkProver.
zkProver uses this data to generate a proof.
zkProver sends the generated proof back to the node.
The node verifies the certificate provided by zkProver.
If the proof is valid, the node may need to retrieve more data from the database, or perform other operations based on the proof.
The node eventually sends the result (which may be the result of a proof-based operation) back to zkProver or other related components.
Please note that this process is a highly simplified example and does not cover all possible scenarios and details. Real systems may have many more steps, conditional branches, and interactions. In addition, zkProver is usually a component responsible for zero-knowledge proof, which may involve complex cryptographic operations that are not shown in detail in the flow chart.
In actual applications, you may need to draw a more detailed and accurate flow chart based on specific business logic and technical implementation.
