In this thesis we follow two directions: Zero Knowledge Protocols and the Discrete Logarithm Problem. In each direction we present the necessary background and we give a new approach for some parts of the existing protocols. / The new parts are dedicated to the soundness property of the Schnorr Identification Scheme and to the security of the sum+-Protocol. Since both directions are very well-known and studied in the field of cryptography, they are presented with many details so that the new results are easy to follow. / In writing this thesis we have tried to present the material in a specific order and in a manner easy to read even by beginners in cryptography.
