Abstract

This course is a detailed introduction to zero-knowledge proof protocols.

Objective

To understand various methods of constructing zero-knowledge proof protocols, and be able to analyse their security properties.

Content

The course will discuss interactive zero-knowledge proofs based on various commitment schemes, and explore connections to other areas like secure multi-party computation. The course may also describe some more advanced constructions of non-interactive proofs.

Resources

Lecture Notes

The course notes will be written in English.
