We introduce the notion of Interleaved Zero-Knowledge (iZK),
a new security measure for cryptographic protocols which strengthens
the classical notion of zero-knowledge, in a way suitable for multiple
concurrent executions in an asynchronous environment like the internet.
We prove that iZK protocols are robust: they are ``parallelizable'',
and ... more >>>

We introduce the notion of Resettable Zero-Knowledge (rZK),
a new security measure for cryptographic protocols
which strengthens the classical notion of zero-knowledge.
In essence, an rZK protocol is one that remains zero knowledge
even if an adeversary can interact with the prover many times, each
time ... more >>>

We show how to efficiently transform any public coin honest verifier
zero knowledge proof system into a proof system that is concurrent
zero-knowledge with respect to any (possibly cheating) verifier via
black box simulation. By efficient we mean that our transformation
incurs only an additive overhead, ... more >>>

We give two applications of Nisan--Wigderson-type ("non-cryptographic") pseudorandom generators in cryptography. Specifically, assuming the existence of an appropriate NW-type generator, we construct:

A one-message witness-indistinguishable proof system for every language in NP, based on any trapdoor permutation. This proof system does not assume a shared random string or any ... more >>>

We study the question whether the number of rounds in public-coin perfect zero-knowledge (PZK) proofs can be collapsed to a constant. Despite extensive research into the round complexity of interactive
and zero-knowledge protocols, there is no indication how to address this question. Furthermore, the main tool to tackle this question ... more >>>

We put forth a new computational notion of entropy, which measures the
(in)feasibility of sampling high entropy strings that are consistent
with a given protocol. Specifically, we say that the i'th round of a
protocol (A, B) has _accessible entropy_ at most k, if no
polynomial-time strategy A^* can generate ... more >>>

In a recent work, Cormode, Dall'Agnol, Gur and Hickey (CCC, 2024) introduced the model of Zero-Knowledge Streaming Interactive Proofs (zkSIPs).
Loosely speaking, such proof-systems enable a prover to convince astreaming verifier that the input $x$, to which it has read-once streaming access, satisfies some property, in such a way that ... more >>>
