Title:
Zero-Knowledge Proofs for Set Membership: Efficient, Succinct, Modular
Authors: Daniel Benarroch, Matteo Campanelli, Dario Fiore, Kobi Gurkan, Dimitris Kolonelos
Abstract:We consider the problem of proving in zero knowledge that an element of a public set satisfies a given property without disclosing the element, i.e., for some u, $u \in S$ and $P(u)$ holds''. This problem arises in many applications (anonymous cryptocurrencies, credentials or whitelists) where, for privacy or anonymity reasons, it is crucial to hide certain data while ensuring properties of such data. We design new \textit{modular} and \textit{efficient} constructions for this problem through new \textit{commit-and-prove zero-knowledge systems for set membership}, i.e. schemes proving $u \in S$ for a value $u$ that is in a public commitment $c_u$. We also extend our results to support {\em non-membership proofs}, i.e. proving $u \notin S$. Being commit-and-prove, our solutions can act as plug-and-play modules in statements of the form u \in S and P(u) holds’’ by combining our set (non-)membership systems with any other commit-and-prove scheme for P(u). Also, they work with Pedersen commitments over prime order groups which makes them compatible with popular systems such as Bulletproofs or Groth16. We implemented our schemes as a software library, and tested experimentally their performance. Compared to previous work that achieves similar properties—the clever techniques combining zkSNARKs and Merkle Trees in Zcash—our solutions offer more flexibility, shorter public parameters and 3.7 \times–30\times faster proving time for a set of size 2^{64}.
