Title:
Rate-1 Statistical Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge

Authors: Pedro Branco, Nico Döttling, Akshayaram Srinivasan

Abstract:

We give the first construction of a rate-1 statistical non-interactive zero-knowledge argument of knowledge. For the \mathsf{circuitSAT} language, our construction achieves a proof length of |w| + |w|^\epsilon \cdot \mathsf{poly}(\lambda) where w denotes the witness, \lambda is the security parameter, \epsilon is a small constant less than 1, and \mathsf{poly}(\cdot) is a fixed polynomial that is independent of the instance or the witness size. The soundness of our construction follows from either the LWE assumption, or the O(1)-\mathsf{LIN} assumption on prime-order groups with efficiently computable bilinear maps, or the sub-exponential DDH assumption. Previously, Gentry et al. (Journal of Cryptology, 2015) achieved NIZKs with statistical soundness and computational zero-knowledge with the aforementioned proof length by relying on the Learning with Errors (LWE) assumption.
