Trusted setup
A procedure that generates public cryptographic parameters under assumptions about how secret setup material is handled.
PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION
In more detail
Some proof systems rely on setup participants discarding information that could compromise proof soundness if retained. Multi-party ceremonies can distribute this trust assumption, while other proving systems use different parameter-generation models.

How you might use it
