BabySpartan: Lasso-based SNARK for non-uniform computation

S Setty, J Thaler - Cryptology ePrint Archive, 2023 - eprint.iacr.org
Abstract Lasso (Setty, Thaler, Wahby, ePrint 2023/1216) is a recent lookup argument that
ensures that the prover cryptographically commits to only" small" values. This note describes …

Customizable constraint systems for succinct arguments

S Setty, J Thaler, R Wahby - Cryptology ePrint Archive, 2023 - eprint.iacr.org
This paper introduces customizable constraint system (CCS), a generalization of R1CS that
can simultaneously capture R1CS, Plonkish, and AIR without overheads. Unlike existing …

Natively Compatible Super-Efficient Lookup Arguments and How to Apply Them

M Campanelli, D Fiore, R Gennaro - Cryptology ePrint Archive, 2024 - eprint.iacr.org
Lookup arguments allow an untrusted prover to commit to a vector $\vec f\in\mathbb {F}^ n $
and show that its entries reside in a predetermined table $\vec t\in\mathbb {F}^ N $. One of …

Epistle: Elastic Succinct Arguments for Plonk Constraint System

S Zhang, D Cai, Y Li, H Kan, L Zhang - Cryptology ePrint Archive, 2024 - eprint.iacr.org
We study elastic SNARKs, a concept introduced by the elegant work of Gemini
(EUROCRYPTO 2022). The prover of elastic SNARKs has multiple configurations with …

This paper introduces Lasso, a new family of lookup arguments, which allow an untrusted
prover to commit to a vector a∈ F m and prove that all entries of a reside in some …

HyperNova: Recursive arguments for customizable constraint systems

A Kothapalli, S Setty - Cryptology ePrint Archive, 2023 - eprint.iacr.org
This paper introduces HyperNova, a recursive argument for proving incremental
computations whose steps are expressed with CCS (Setty et al. ePrint 2023/552), a …

[HTML][HTML] Lattice-based polynomial commitments: Towards asymptotic and concrete efficiency

G Fenzi, H Moghaddas, NK Nguyen - Journal of Cryptology, 2024 - Springer
Polynomial commitments schemes are a powerful tool that enables one party to commit to a
polynomial p of degree d, and prove that the committed function evaluates to a certain value …

New optimization techniques for PlonK's arithmetization

M Ambrona, AL Schmitt, RR Toledo… - Cryptology ePrint …, 2022 - eprint.iacr.org
PlonK is a universal and updatable zk-SNARK for general circuit satisfiability that allows a
verifier to check the validity of a certain NP statement very efficiently, optionally in zero …

Gemini: Elastic SNARKs for diverse environments

J Bootle, A Chiesa, Y Hu, M Orru - … on the Theory and Applications of …, 2022 - Springer
We introduce a new class of succinct arguments, that we call elastic. Elastic SNARKs allow
the prover to allocate different resources (such as memory and time) depending on the …

A Lombardi, V Vaikuntanathan - Annual International Cryptology …, 2020 - Springer
Abstract The Fiat-Shamir transform is a methodology for compiling a (public-coin) interactive
proof system for a language L into a non-interactive argument system for L. Proving security …
