The development of information technology has driven the need for stronger security systems and guaranteed privacy on web-based platforms. Traditional verification methods such as passwords and two-factor authentication are increasingly seen as insufficient in facing the growing complexity of cyber threats. Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) emerges as an alternative solution that enables identity verification without revealing sensitive information. This research aims to implement ZKP technology in web-based systems to enhance user security and privacy. The method involves the implementation of a simple XOR-based ZKP algorithm to prove identity without disclosing personal data, as well as a three-step verification mechanism between the verifier and the prover. Implementation results show that the system can prevent attacks such as man-in-the-middle and replay attacks, while maintaining data confidentiality during the authentication process. This study also identifies challenges in system efficiency and verification process integrity and offers technical solutions to support broader ZKP integration in digital platforms. Thus, the use of ZKP in web-based systems holds great potential to improve user trust and security in the digital era.
