When debugging a ZKP verifier, make sure to keep checking not just that the proof verifies on valid inputs, but also that the proof verification returns an error on invalid inputs (or with nonsensical tweaks to the verification mechanism).

I guess this is how you catch unconstrained circuit bugs? I can imagine there's some proof circuit that checks that the square of a number is 9, but doesn’t check if it should be 3 or -3. What you're suggesting here should catch the bug if we only want it to be 3, no?

In zk proofs, there are (2) actors : prover and a verifier. The prover convince the verifier without revealing any information. The verifier verify that the prover is telling the truth. A ZKP verifier must reject both invalid proofs and those with tampered verification.

Great point, @vitalik.eth! Ensuring that a ZKP verifier properly rejects invalid inputs is crucial for maintaining security and integrity. It's not just about accepting the right proofs, but also about robustly identifying the wrong ones. 🔍🛡️

Good unit tests should be able to take care of that or am I missing something? Still, ensuring to cover all these use cases is what I am calling “good” unit tests.

I mean. That's just general testing advice sir.

I think the core of this, is crucial in so many things. Look for the truths in things, the provable, but also the untruths, the unproven. 10 $DEGEN

So in theory could you for example instead of validating it, you would overflow not bytes but let's say for: 32-bits max -2³¹...2³¹ 64 bits max -2^63...2^63 double precision floating point 1.8 x 10^308 Could you overflow (not sure if this is the right term) with a constructor and use yobibyte or bs, from there you could technically infinitely drain a process?

I feel like this message is a direct response to snarkjs and its lack of testing. This pr is in the new 0.7.4 and it has no test that fails before the patch. https://github.com/iden3/snarkjs/pull/480
