| Abstract: | In a zero-knowledge proof, a prover needs to convince a verifier that an input x is contained in a language Pi without revealing any additional information. By repeating a zero-knowledge proof k times, it is possible to prove (still in zero-knowledge) that k separate inputs x1,...,xk all belong to Pi. But this increases the communication by a factor of k. Can one do better? In other words, is (non-trivial) zero-knowledge batch verification for Pi possible? Recent works by Kaslasi et al. (TCC 2020, Eurocrypt 2021) show that any problem possessing a non-interactive statistical zero-knowledge proof (NISZK) has a non-trivial statistical zero-knowledge batch verification protocol. Two major limitations of their results are: (1) the communication in the batch protocol is roughly poly(n,log(k))+O(k), which is better than the naive cost of k*poly(n) but still scales linearly with k, and, (2) the batch protocol requires Omega(k) rounds of interaction. In this work we remove both of these limitations by showing that any problem in NISZK has a non-interactive statistical zero-knowledge batch verification protocol with communication poly(n,log(k)). |
