Details
Executive Summary : | A broad goal of the proposed project is to study proof systems in the context of pertinent applications like Blockchain and Machine Learning. In this project, new zero-knowledge proof systems will be developed focusing on the following: 1) Efficiency parameters (i) Succinctness of the proof (ii) Efficient verifier complexity(iii) Low overhead of the prover compared to native computation 2) Stronger security properties (i) Subversion-resistance (ii) Composable Security 3) Accompanying data structures that are co-designed with the techniques of the proof system leading to better efficiency of the overall proof system. |
