Abstract We introduce the probabilistic two-agent justification logic $\textsf {IPJ}$, a logic in which we can reason about agents that perform interactive proofs. In order to study the growth rate of the probabilities in $\textsf {IPJ}$, we present a new method of parametrizing $\textsf {IPJ}$ over certain negligible functions. Further, our approach leads to a new notion of zero-knowledge proofs.
