Title:
From Point Obfuscation To 3-round Zero-Knowledge

Authors: Nir Bitansky, Omer Paneth

Abstract:

We construct 3-round proofs and arguments with negligible soundness error satisfying two relaxed notions of {\em zero-knowledge}: {\em Weak ZK} and {\em witness hiding} (WH). At the heart of our constructions lie new techniques based on {\em point obfuscation with auxiliary input} (AIPO). It is known that such protocols cannot be proven secure using black-box reductions (or simulation). Our constructions circumvent these lower bounds, utilizing AIPO (and extensions) as the ``non-black-box component" in the security reduction. We also investigate the relation between AIPO and the assumptions previously used to achieve 3-round ZK.
