Authors: Cody Freitag Ilan Komargodski Rafael Pass DOI: 10.1007/978-3-030-26954-8_4 Search ePrint Search Google We introduce the notion of non-uniformly sound certificates: succinct single-message (unidirectional) argument systems that satisfy a “best-possible security” against non-uniform polynomial-time attackers. In particular, no polynomial-time attacker with s bits of non-uniform advice can find significantly more than s accepting proofs for false statements. Our first result is a construction of non-uniformly sound certificates for all $\mathbf{NP }$ in the random oracle model, where the attacker’s advice can depend arbitrarily on the random oracle.We next show that the existence of non-uniformly sound certificates for $\mathbf{P }$ (and collision resistant hash functions) yields a public-coin constant-round fully concurrent zero-knowledge argument for $\mathbf{NP }$.
