Constant-Round Zero-Knowledge Proofs of Knowledge

چکیده

In this note, we show the existence of constant-round computational zero-knowledge proofs of knowledge for all NP. The existence of constant-round zero-knowledge proofs was proven by Goldreich and Kahan (Journal of Cryptology, 1996), and the existence of constant-round zeroknowledge arguments of knowledge was proven by Feige and Shamir (CRYPTO 1989). Although it is widely believed that there exist constant-round zero-knowledge proofs of knowledge for all NP, to the best of our knowledge, no proof of this fact has been published.

Constant-Round Leakage-Resilient Zero-Knowledge Arguments of Knowledge for NP

Garg, Jain, and Sahai first consider zero knowledge proofs in the presence of leakage on the local state of the prover, and present a leakageresilient-zero-knowledge proof system for HC (Hamiltonian Cycle) problem. Their construction is called (1 + ε)-leakage-resilient zero-knowledge, for any constant ε > 0, because the total length of the leakage the simulator needs is (1 + ε) times as large a...

Direct Zero Knowledge Proofs of Computational Power in Five Rounds

Zero-knowledge proofs of compaiaiional power have been proposed by Yung and others. In this paper, we propose an ef ic ieni (direct) and consiani round (five round) construction of zero knowledge proofs of computational power. To formulate the classes that can be applied to these efficient protocols, we introduce a class of invulnerable problems, FewPR and FewPRu. We show that any invulnerable ...

Private Coins versus Public Coins in Zero-Knowledge Proof Systems

Goldreich-Krawczyk (Siam J of Comp’96) showed that only languages in BPP have constant-round public-coin black-box zero-knowledge protocols. We extend their lower bound to “fully black-box” privatecoin protocols based on one-way functions. More precisely, we show that only languages in BPP—where Sam is a “collision-finding” oracle in analogy with Simon (Eurocrypt’98) and Haitner et. al (FOCS’07...

On the Composition of Zero-Knowledge Proof Systems

The wide applicability of zero-knowledge interactive proofs comes from the possibility of using these proofs as subroutines in cryptographic protocols. A basic question concerning this use is whether the (sequential and/or parallel) composition of zero-knowledge protocols is zero-knowledge too. We demonstrate the limitations of the composition of zeroknowledge protocols by proving that the orig...

On Constant-Round Concurrent Zero-Knowledge

Loosely speaking, an interactive proof is said to be zeroknowledge if the view of every “efficient” verifier can be “efficiently” simulated. An outstanding open question regarding zero-knowledge is whether constant-round concurrent zero-knowledge proofs exists for nontrivial languages. We answer this question to the affirmative when modeling “efficient adversaries” as probabilistic quasi-polyno...
