Zero knowledge proofs can solve this.

Maybe using a zero-knowledge proof.

you can use zeroknowledge proofs for things you don't want to reveal. it's called zk-snarks

Why haven't zero knowledge proofs shined in this area? Can anyone explain?

lookup zero knowledge proofs, I believe that is what he is referring to as the better way

Would zero knowledge proofs work for this?

This reminds of zero knowledge proofs...

They could use zero knowledge proof
