Collaborative Zero-Knowledge Proofs with Secure Multiparty Computations

We study argument system. The argument system allows prover to convince verifier that a delegated computation is correctly computed through a prover-generated proof. Argument system can guarantee security in an untrusted setting, such as cloud computing. In particular, we focus on zero-knowledge argument system, where the proof does not reveal any secret about the input. However, existing zero-knowledge argument system lacks efficiency, for proof generation takes huge computational overhead. In this thesis, we propose a new zero-knowledge argument system. Our construction. Our new construction reduce the proof generation time by orders of magnitude. On top of that, our construction can guarantee data privacy for the verifier.
