polynomials over finite fields, with logarithmic size evaluation proofs and verification time …

Lattice-based zero-knowledge proofs and applications: shorter, simpler, and more general

V Lyubashevsky, NK Nguyen, M Plançon - Annual International …, 2022 - Springer
We present a much-improved practical protocol, based on the hardness of Module-SIS and
Module-LWE problems, for proving knowledge of a short vector s→ satisfying A s→= t→ mod …

Protostar: generic efficient accumulation/folding for special-sound protocols

B Bünz, B Chen - International Conference on the Theory and …, 2023 - Springer
Accumulation is a simple yet powerful primitive that enables incrementally verifiable
computation (IVC) without the need for recursive SNARKs. We provide a generic, efficient …

Mangrove: A scalable framework for folding-based SNARKs

W Nguyen, T Datta, B Chen, N Tyagi… - Annual International …, 2024 - Springer
We present a framework for building efficient folding-based SNARKs. First we develop a
new “uniformizing” compiler for NP statements that converts any poly-time computation to a …

Publicly verifiable zero-knowledge and post-quantum signatures from vole-in-the-head

C Baum, L Braun, CD de Saint Guilhem… - Annual International …, 2023 - Springer
We present a new method for transforming zero-knowledge protocols in the designated
verifier setting into public-coin protocols, which can be made non-interactive and publicly …

Proofs, arguments, and zero-knowledge

J Thaler - Foundations and Trends® in Privacy and Security, 2022 - nowpublishers.com
Interactive proofs (IPs) and arguments are cryptographic protocols that enable an untrusted
prover to provide a guarantee that it performed a requested computation correctly …

[PDF][PDF] Brakedown: Linear-time and post-quantum SNARKs for R1CS.

A Golovnev, J Lee, STV Setty, J Thaler… - IACR Cryptol. ePrint …, 2021 - iacr.steepath.eu
This paper introduces Brakedown, 1 the first built system that provides linear-time SNARKs

Proofs for deep thought: Accumulation for large memories and deterministic computations

B Bünz, J Chen - International Conference on the Theory and …, 2025 - Springer
An important part in proving machine computation is to prove the correctness of the read and
write operations performed from the memory, which we term memory-proving. Previous …
