Theoretical and practical introduction to ZK-SNARKs and ZK-STARKs
Abstract:
Práce má za cíl poskytnout úvod do problematiky efektivních univerzálních důkazů s nulovou znalostí (tzv. zero-knowledge proofs). V práci znázorňujeme konstrukci důkazů ve dvou různých systémech důkazů, Groth16 a FRI-STARK, a také vysvětlujeme důlažité matematické a kryptografické pojmy potřebné k těmto kontrukcím. Dále popisujeme praktické aplikace těchto systémů a upozorňujeme na možná úskalí spojená …more
Abstract:
This work aims to introduce the reader to the topic of efficient general-purpose zero-knowledge proofs. We illustrate the construction of proofs in two different proof systems, Groth16 and FRI-STARK, and also explain the most important mathematical and cryptographical concepts necessary for their construction. Then we describe practical applications of these argument systems and point out issues related …more
