Is the approach analogous to one way hash? But with mathematical statements?
Given that they can’t be proven, so it’s effectively unpredictable and “un-generatable” ?
How is this not security through obscurity?
If math is STO then I would argue passwords are also STO.
It's only secure until someone figures it out.

What is that new powerful tool in cryptography, then?

I'm not sure what "interactive" means here, but I thought ZK-SNARKs were already non-interactive.
It seems the article has nothing to do with anything practical..
