Overview
Explore a conference talk on zero-knowledge arguments for arithmetic circuits and their applications, presented at PKC 2020. Delve into the paper by Carsten Baum and Ariel Nof, which covers topics such as MPC-in-the-head techniques, pre-processing in MPC, and the SIS problem. Learn about circuit sampling on the fly, bit test amortization, and implementation results. Gain insights into concrete efficiency improvements for zero-knowledge proofs and their potential applications in cryptography.
