Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge
Jens Groth (University College London)

Abstract: Non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs make it possible to create a proof for a statement being true without revealing any private information. There are now several approaches to constructing non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs based on assumptions ranging from the existence of trapdoor permutation to specific number theoretic assumptions and constructions that do not rely on standard assumptions. In this talk we will give an overview of the different non-interactive zero-knowledge techniques that exist and compare their advantages and disadvantages.
