A Compressed -Protocol Theory for Lattices

T Attema, R Cramer, L Kohl - Annual International Cryptology Conference, 2021 - Springer
We show a lattice-based solution for commit-and-prove transparent circuit zero-knowledge
(ZK) with polylog-communication, the first not depending on PCPs. We start from …

T Attema, R Cramer - Annual International Cryptology Conference, 2020 - Springer
Abstract\varSigma-Protocols provide a well-understood basis for secure algorithmics.

Sumcheck arguments and their applications

J Bootle, A Chiesa, K Sotiraki - … in Cryptology–CRYPTO 2021: 41st Annual …, 2021 - Springer
We introduce a class of interactive protocols, which we call sumcheck arguments, that
establishes a novel connection between the sumcheck protocol (Lund et al. JACM 1992) …

Parallel Repetition of -Special-Sound Multi-round Interactive Proofs

T Attema, S Fehr - Annual International Cryptology Conference, 2022 - Springer
In many occasions, the knowledge error κ of an interactive proof is not small enough, and
thus needs to be reduced. This can be done generically by repeating the interactive proof in …

Muxproofs: Succinct arguments for machine computation from tuple lookups

Z Di, L Xia, W Nguyen, N Tyagi - Cryptology ePrint Archive, 2023 - eprint.iacr.org
Proofs for machine computation allow for proving the correct execution of arbitrary programs

Stacking Sigmas: A Framework to Compose -Protocols for Disjunctions

A Goel, M Green, M Hall-Andersen… - … Conference on the Theory …, 2022 - Springer
