Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) is one of cryptographic techniques widely used to improve privacy and security by allowing one party to prove to another party that they know a piece of information, without revealing the information itself. In this study, we conducted a review using the PRISMA framework to explore the use of ZKP and biometrics for authentication, its applications, and different protocols. Our findings highlight the significance of multi-party authentication scenarios and identify fingerprints, face, and iris as commonly used biometrics with ZKP. The Schnorr original method emerges as a widely employed ZKP protocol. Lastly, we provide future directions for leveraging ZKP in secure authentication systems.AbstractenAuthenticationBiometricsPrivacySecurityConference Presentation27126
