Verifiable and provably secure machine unlearning

T Eisenhofer, D Riepel, V Chandrasekaran… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Machine unlearning aims to remove points from the training dataset of a machine learning
model after training; for example when a user requests their data to be deleted. While many …

Shorter and faster post-quantum designated-verifier zkSNARKs from lattices

Y Ishai, H Su, DJ Wu - Proceedings of the 2021 ACM SIGSAC …, 2021 - dl.acm.org
Zero-knowledge succinct arguments of knowledge (zkSNARKs) enable efficient privacy-
preserving proofs of membership for general NP languages. Our focus in this work is on post …

Fiat-Shamir security of FRI and related snarks

AR Block, A Garreta, J Katz, J Thaler, PR Tiwari… - … Conference on the …, 2023 - Springer
We establish new results on the Fiat-Shamir (FS) security of several protocols that are widely
used in practice, and we provide general tools for establishing similar results for others …

Sumcheck arguments and their applications

J Bootle, A Chiesa, K Sotiraki - … in Cryptology–CRYPTO 2021: 41st Annual …, 2021 - Springer
We introduce a class of interactive protocols, which we call sumcheck arguments, that
establishes a novel connection between the sumcheck protocol (Lund et al. JACM 1992) …

Halo infinite: Recursive zk-snarks from any additive polynomial commitment scheme

D Boneh, J Drake, B Fisch, A Gabizon - Cryptology ePrint Archive, 2020 - eprint.iacr.org
Polynomial commitment schemes (PCS) have recently been in the spotlight for their key role
in building SNARKs. A PCS provides the ability to commit to a polynomial over a finite field …

Succinct zero knowledge for floating point computations

S Garg, A Jain, Z Jin, Y Zhang - Proceedings of the 2022 ACM SIGSAC …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
We study the problem of constructing succinct zero knowledge proof systems for floating
point computations. The standard approach to handle floating point computations requires …

An algebraic framework for universal and updatable SNARKs

C Ràfols, A Zapico - Annual International Cryptology Conference, 2021 - Springer
Abstract We introduce Checkable Subspace Sampling Arguments, a new information
theoretic interactive proof system in which the prover shows that a vector has been sampled …

Riggs: Decentralized sealed-bid auctions

N Tyagi, A Arun, C Freitag, R Wahby… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
We introduce the first practical protocols for fully decentralized sealed-bid auctions using
timed commitments. Timed commitments ensure that the auction is finalized fairly even if all …

The locality of memory checking

W Wang, Y Lu, C Papamanthou, F Zhang - Proceedings of the 2023 …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
Motivated by the extended deployment of authenticated data structures (eg, Merkle Patricia
Tries) for verifying massive amounts of data in blockchain systems, we begin a systematic …

Bulletproofs+: shorter proofs for a privacy-enhanced distributed ledger

H Chung, K Han, C Ju, M Kim, JH Seo - Ieee Access, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper presents a new short zero-knowledge argument for the range proof and
arithmetic circuits without a trusted setup. In particular, it can achieve the shortest proof size …
