Computational complexity: a conceptual perspective

O Goldreich - ACM Sigact News, 2008 - dl.acm.org
This book is rooted in the thesis that complexity theory is extremely rich in conceptual
content, and that this contents should be explicitly communicated in expositions and courses …

Quantum computational complexity

This article surveys quantum computational complexity, with a focus on three fundamental
notions: polynomial-time quantum computations, the efficient verification of quantum proofs …

Marlin: Preprocessing zkSNARKs with universal and updatable SRS

A Chiesa, Y Hu, M Maller, P Mishra, N Vesely… - Advances in Cryptology …, 2020 - Springer
We present a methodology to construct preprocessing zkSNARKs where the structured

Scalable, transparent, and post-quantum secure computational integrity

E Ben-Sasson, I Bentov, Y Horesh… - Cryptology ePrint …, 2018 - eprint.iacr.org
Human dignity demands that personal information, like medical and forensic data, be hidden
from the public. But veils of secrecy designed to preserve privacy may also be abused to …

Aurora: Transparent succinct arguments for R1CS

E Ben-Sasson, A Chiesa, M Riabzev… - Advances in Cryptology …, 2019 - Springer
We design, implement, and evaluate a zero knowledge succinct non-interactive argument
(SNARG) for Rank-1 Constraint Satisfaction (R1CS), a widely-deployed NP language …

Spartan: Efficient and general-purpose zkSNARKs without trusted setup

S Setty - Annual International Cryptology Conference, 2020 - Springer
This paper introduces Spartan, a new family of zero-knowledge succinct non-interactive
arguments of knowledge (zkSNARKs) for the rank-1 constraint satisfiability (R1CS), an NP …

Ligero: Lightweight sublinear arguments without a trusted setup

S Ames, C Hazay, Y Ishai… - Proceedings of the 2017 …, 2017 - dl.acm.org
We design and implement a simple zero-knowledge argument protocol for NP whose
communication complexity is proportional to the square-root of the verification circuit size …

Interactive oracle proofs

E Ben-Sasson, A Chiesa, N Spooner - … 2016-B, Bei**g, China, October 31 …, 2016 - Springer
We initiate the study of a proof system model that naturally combines interactive proofs (IPs)
and probabilistically-checkable proofs (PCPs), and generalizes interactive PCPs (which …

Fast reed-solomon interactive oracle proofs of proximity

Abstract The family of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes plays a prominent role in the construction
of quasilinear probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) and interactive oracle proofs (IOPs) …

How to capture higher-order correlations? generalizing matrix softmax attention to kronecker computation

J Alman, Z Song - arxiv preprint arxiv:2310.04064, 2023 - arxiv.org
In the classical transformer attention scheme, we are given three $ n\times d $ size matrices
$ Q, K, V $(the query, key, and value tokens), and the goal is to compute a new $ n\times d …
