Ethical and Legal Considerations for Bug Bounty Proofs
As a white hat hacker, I need a method to prove that I have found a bug through a bug bounty program, without disclosing information that could lead to a security vulnerability being exploited. This ensures I can be acknowledged and compensated for my discovery, while the affected organization has time to address the issue.
Acceptance Criteria
[ ] The system must allow submission of zero-knowledge proofs by white hat hackers.
[ ] The system must validate the correctness of a bug without revealing its details.
[ ] The system must keep the identity of the white hat hacker confidential if desired.
[ ] The system must be able to issue rewards based on the validated zero-knowledge proofs.
[ ] The system must maintain a secure and tamper-evident log of all submitted proofs.
[ ] The system must ensure that proofs are only valid for a single claim to prevent duplicate rewards.
[ ] The system must provide a mechanism for dispute resolution involving zero-knowledge proofs.
