Efficient multivariate low-degree tests via interactive oracle proofs of proximity for polynomial codes
In STARK-like zero -knowledge proofs, like those of the Starware company, the major algorithmic and mathematical breakthrough which enables such great performance in applications is the invention of very efficient "low degree test" of univariate polynomials. Our work enables to perform such low degree test for multivariate polynomials, with the same efficiency. This is a first layer, and we think it can lay ground for still more optimization of STARKs.
Proceedings of Tokenomics 2020
Tokenomics is an international forum for theory, design, analysis, implementation and applications of blockchains and smart contracts. The goal of the conference is to bring together economists, computer science researchers and practitioners working on blockchains in a unique program featuring outstanding invited talks and academic presentations.
Outlooks
Zero-Knowledge : trust and privacy on an industrial scale
To present the concept of zero-knowledge, this counter-intuitive technology and put it into perspective with uses and services, the “Blockchain and B2B Platforms” chair hosted at École Polytechnique and supported by CapGemini, NomadicLabs and Caisse des Dépôts, chose to interview two doctoral students, Sarah Bordage and Youssef El Housni, who are doing their research at the École Polytechnique’s computer science laboratory as part of the chair, and Anthony Simonet-Boulogne and Gilles Fedak, from the startup iExec, who see zero-knowledge as technology to be integrated into their offer.
