14:00 - 15:00 | Rafeal del Pino (IBM Zurich): Efficient amortized Lattice-based zero-knowledge proofs Abstract: For a linear function f, an integer vector x with small coefficients,
and an image y=f(x), we would like to be able to prove knowledge of a
small preimage of y. This is a common scenario in lattice-based
cryptography and there is currently no satisfactory solution, all
known protocols have an overhead linear in the security parameter or
prove knowledge of a weaker witness. A succession of works
[CD09,DPSZ12,BDLN16,CDXY17,PL17] have tackled this issue in the
context of amortized proofs of knowledge, in which one wants to prove
knowledge for multiple images at once, resulting in proofs with
constant overhead and linear slack, at the cost of needing to be
amortized over a few thousand equations. In this talk we will present
a new amortized proof of knowledge which we believe is conceptually
much simpler than previous works as well as more efficient.
We achieve better overhead (with a full proof size that grows linearly
in the security parameter rather than the number of equations) and
linear slack, while only requiring around 100 equations for amortization.
