Title:
Efficient Generic Zero-Knowledge Proofs from Commitments

Authors: Samuel Ranellucci, Alain Tapp, Rasmus Winther Zakarias

Abstract:

Even though Zero-knowledge has existed for more than 30 years, few generic constructions for Zero-knowledge exist. In this paper we present a new kind of commitment scheme on which we build a novel and efficient Zero-knowledge protocol for circuit satisfiability. We can prove knowledge of the AES-key which map a particular plaintext to a particular ciphertext in less than 4 seconds with a soundness error of 2^{-40}. Our protocol only requires a number of commitments proportional to the security parameter with a small constant (roughly 5).
