Not one mention that ZKP depends on servers trusting clients.

The single reason ZKP is not viable for most security is that it relies on you trusting the client to send you true information about data.

With conventional security the user sends their inputs and the server validates it.

Something I notice that is almost never mentioned when people bring up ZKP - it is pretty much only for peer-to-peer when there is no authoritative server. Or when that server trusts the “nodes” (clients).
