Succinct Cryptographic Proof Systems: Theory and Practice
A proof system allows a power prover to convince a weak party (the verifier) of the validity of large computations. Proof systems are a powerful and versatile tool that is central to complexity theory and cryptography. Since their introduction, they have led to breakthroughs such as the celebrated PCP theorem, zero-knowledge proofs, hardness of approximation, and more. The rise of cloud computing, lockchain technologies, and distributed computing have created a vast demand for practical implementations. Cryptographic proofs leverage the use of cryptographic primitives to gain efficiency benefits including succinct proofs with fast proving and verifying time, suitable for practical…
