Pairing-based non-interactive zero-knowledge arguments and applications

Elliptic curves with a bilinear map, or pairing, have a rich algebraic structure that has been fundamental to develop practical Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge (NIZK) proofs. On the theoretical side, we explore how efficient can NIZK proofs be under weak complexity assumptions. Specifically, we reduc...

En la banda teòrica, explorem quant eficients poden ser les proves NIZK sota hipòtesis de complexitat dèbils. Més concretament, reduïm el cost de les proves de satisfacció per equacions quadràtiques, definim un nou esquema de compromís que és compatible amb altres proves NIZK basades en pairings i construïm una prova que resulta en una nova signatura de coneixement amb una comunicació sublineal en la mida del circuit sota hipòtesis estàndards. A més, estudiem com es redueix el cost de verificació en una de les proves NIZK més desenvolupades a la pràctica.Programa de doctorat en Tecnologies de la Informació i les ComunicacionsUniversitat Pompeu FabraRàfols, CarlaUniversitat Pompeu Fabra.

description Elliptic curves with a bilinear map, or pairing, have a rich algebraic structure that has been fundamental to develop practical Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge (NIZK) proofs. On the theoretical side, we explore how efficient can NIZK proofs be under weak complexity assumptions. Specifically, we reduce the cost of proofs of satisfiability of quadratic equations, we define a new commitment scheme that is compatible with other pairing-based NIZK arguments, and we construct a simulation-sound argument that results in a new a signature of knowledge with communication sublinear in the circuit size under standard assumptions. Additionally, we study how to reduce the cost of verification in one of the most widely deployed NIZK arguments in practice.
