f
is a computation that takes two weeks to run on a regular computer, but two hours on a data center. You send the data center the computation (ie. the code to run
f
), the data center runs it, and gives back the answer
y
with a proof. You verify the proof in a few milliseconds, and are convinced that
y
actually is the answer.
