Pairing

universal polynomial φ(x)的取值作为g的幂次,同等变换为,polynomial φ(x)的coffients做为PK里的g^(α^i)的幂次

再结合pairing求解

Trusted Setup:
bilinear pairing group GG = 〈e, G, Gt〉

SK = Random α, PK =〈GG, g, g^α, . . . , g^(α^t) 〉

polynomial φ(x) ∈ Zp[x] 
φ(x) = ∑ φj * x^j,  0<= j <=deg(φ), deg(φ) <= t

Commit(PK, φ(x)): 

commit C  = g^φ(α) 
          = g^(∑ φj * x^j) 
          = ∏ g^(φj * α^j)
          = ∏ (g^(a^j))^φj

Open(PK, C, φ(x)): φ(x)

VerifyPoly(PK, C, φ(x)):
verify C == ∏ (g^(a^j))^φj

CreateWitness(PK, φ(x), i):

ψi(x) = (φ(x)−φ(i))/(x−i), 
proof wi = g^ψi(α)
output 〈i, φ(i), wi〉

VerifyEval(PK, C, i, φ(i), wi):

verify e(C, g) == e(wi, g^α/g^i) * e(g, g)^φ(i)

e(wi, g^α/g^i) * e(g, g)^φ(i)
= e(g^ψi(α) , g^(α-i)) * e(g^φ(i), g)
= e(g^(ψi(α) * (α-i)), g) * e(g^φ(i), g)
= e(g^(φ(α)−φ(i)), g) * e(g^φ(i), g)
= e(g^φ(α), g)
= e(C, g)

Batch Opening 针对多个i聚合运算

CreateWitnessBatch(PK, φ(x), B): 〈B, r(x), wB 〉
B ⊂ Zp
r(x) = φ(x) % ∏ (x-i), i∈B
ψB(x) = (φ(x)−r(x))/ ∏ (x-i), i∈B
wB = g^ψB(α)

VerifyEvalBatch(PK, C, B, r(x), wB ): i∈B
verify e(C, g) == e(g^∏ (α−i), wB ) * e(g, g^r(α))
verify r(i) == φ(i)

R1CS: rank-1 constraint system

  • 假设共m个Gate。
  • 将Gate运算的variable按顺序排列,S中的每一列对应每个variable在某个输入的取值statement x。
  • 将Gate运算公式转换为约束matrix:A中的每一行为left input,B中的每一行为right input,C中的每一行为output。

QAP

  • 对A/B/C的每一列,以(row_i, value)为point计算lagrange多项式,获得转置后的lagrange系数多项式matrix,对应ui(x), vi(x), wi(x)。
  • S 与 上述lagrange matrix点乘,获得A/B/C对应的多项式A(x), B(x), C(x),计算

    T(x) = A(x) * B(x) - C(x) Z(x) = (x - 1) * … * (x - m) H(x) = T(x) / Z(x)

显然,T(x) = H(x) * Z(x)

NIZK

pairing-friendly elliptic curves

a0 = 1
public statements (a1, ..., al)
secret witnesses (al+1, ..., am)

∑ ai*ui(x) · ∑ ai*vi(x) = ∑ ai*wi(X) + h(X)t(X),  i = 0, ..., m

Setup(R): 
τ = (α, β, γ, δ, x)
σ1 = ( α, β, δ, 
    {x^i} 0<=i<=n−1, 
    { (β*ui(x)+α*vi(x)+wi(x))/γ } 0<=i<=l, 
    { (β*ui(x)+α*vi(x)+wi(x))/δ } l+1<=i<=m, 
    { (x^i * t(x))/δ } 0<=i<=n-2
)
σ2 = ( β, γ, δ, 
    {x^i} 0<=i<=n-1
)
σ = ([σ1]1, [σ2]2)

Prove:
π ← Prove(R, σ, a1, . . . , am)
r, s ← Zp
A = α + ∑ ai*ui(x) + rδ,  0<=i<=m
B = β + ∑ ai*vi(x) + sδ,  0<=i<=m
C = ( ∑ ai*( β*ui(x) + α*vi(x) + wi(x)) + h(x)t(x) )/δ + As + Br − rsδ
π = ([A]1, [C]1, [B]2)

Verify:
Vfy(R, σ, a1, . . . , al, π)
[A]1 · [B]2 = [α]1 · [β]2 + ∑ ai*( (β*ui(x) + α*vi(x) + wi(x))/γ ) · [γ]2 + [C]1 · [δ]2,   0<=i<=l

Sim:
π ← Sim(R, τ, a1, . . . , al)
C = ( AB − αβ − ∑ ai*(β*ui(x) + α*vi(x) + wi(x)) )/δ, i= 0, ..., l  

精简的σV,只需l+2个G1 element, 3个G2 element,1个GT element

σV = ( p, G1, G2, GT , e, [1]1, { [( β*ui(x) + α*vi(x) + wi(x))/γ ]1 }  0<=i<=l, [1]2, [γ]2, [δ]2, [αβ]T )

security

显然容易继承pairing curve的malleable问题,基本参考校验原文,或者防重放等。

如果关联identity,同时涉及identity的trust。

Recursive Argument for Inner Product Evaluation

假设g vector size 为 n

n = ∏ m_i , 1 <= i <= µ

按因子顺序做reduce, 例如

取首个m = m_µ,拆分g = (g_1, ..., g_m), 相当于拆分成 m 个 vector size 为 n/m 的vectors g_i。h, a, b 的拆分与g类似。

计算

A_k = ∏ g_i^a_(i+k),  min(m,m−k) <=i<=max(1,1−k), k = 1 − m, . . . , m − 1
A = g^a = ∏ g_i^a_i,  1<=i<=m

g_i^a_j的matrix斜线元素相乘,即为A_(j-i),显然,A = A_0。B与A类似。

(G, p, g, A, h, B, z, m_µ = m, m_µ−1 = m', . . . , m_1)

计算

random challenge x
g' = ∏ (g_i)^(x^−i),  1<=i<=m
A' = ∏ (A_k)^(x^k),   1-m<=k<=m-1
a' = ∑ a_i*(x^i), 1<=i<=m
A' = g'^a'

random challenge x^-1
h' = ∏ (h_i)^(x^i),  1<=i<=m
B' = ∏ (B_k)^(x^-k),   1-m<=k<=m-1
b' = ∑ b_i*(x^-i), 1<=i<=m
B' = h'^b'

z_k = ∑ a_i · b_(i+k),  min(m,m−k) <= i <= max(1,1−k), 1-m<=k<=m-1
z_0 = z = ∑ a_i · b_i,  1 <= i <= m
z'  = ∑ z_k * x^(-k), 1-m<=k<=m-1

a' · b' = ∑ a_i*(x^i) · ∑ b_j*(x^-j)
        = ∑ a_i*(x^i) · b_j*(x^-j)
        = ∑ (a_i · b_j)*(x^(i-j))
        = ∑ (a_i · b_(i+k))*(x^(-k)) , permutation, let j = i+k
        = ∑ z_k * x^(-k)
        = z'

获得(G, p, g', A', h', B', z', m_µ−1, . . . , m_1),显然,g’ vector size为n/m,可进一步拆分为m' = m_µ−1个子vector size。

Improved Inner-Product Argument

与BCCGP思路类似,优化为每次折半,Recursive ARgument log(n) 次

g, h ∈ G^n
u, P ∈ G
a, b ∈ Zp^n

n=1: 

P->V: a, b
c = a · b
V check P == g^a · h^b · u^c

n>1:

n' = n/2
(a1, a2) = a, (b1, b2) = b, (g1, g2) = g, (h1, h2) = h
c = a · b = a1 · b1 + a2 · b2

CL = a1 · b2  ∈ Zp
CR = a2 · b1  ∈ Zp
L = g2^a1 · h1^b2 · u^CL ∈ G
R = g1^a2 · h2^b1 · u^CR ∈ G

P->V: L, R
V->P: x ∈ Zp*

g' = g1^(x^(-1)) · g2^x ∈ G^n'
h' = h1^x · h2^(x^(-1)) ∈ G^n'
P' = L^(x^2) · P · R^(x^(-2)) ∈ G

a' = a1*x + a2*x^(-1) ∈ Zp^n' 
b' = b1*x^(-1) + b2*x ∈ Zp^n' 

c' = a' · b'
   = a1 · b1 + (a1 · b2)*x^2 + (a2 · b1)*x^(-2) + a2 · b2

P' = L^(x^2) · P · R^(x^(-2))

   = (g2^(a1*x^2) · h1^(b2*x^2) · u^(CL*x^2))
      · ((g1^a1 · g2^a2) · (h1^b1 · h2^b2) · u^(a · b))
      · ((g1^(a2*x^(-2)) · h2^(b1*x^(-2)) · u^(CR*x^(-2))

   = (g1^(a1+a2*x^(-2)) · g2^(a2+a1*x^2))
     · (h1^(b2*x^2+b1) · h2^(b2+b1*x^(-2)))
     · u^(CL*x^2+a · b+CR*x^(-2))

   =  (g1^(x^(-1)))^(a1*x+a2*x^(-1)) · (g2^x)^(a2*x^(-1)+a1*x)
     · (h1^x)^(b2*x+b1*x^(-1)) · (h2^(x^(-1)))^(b2*x+b1*x^(-1))
     · u^((a1 · b2)*x^2+a1 · b1 + a2 · b2+(a2 · b1)*x^(-2))

   = g'^a' · h'^b · u^c'

 get (g', h', u, P', a', b')

显然,g’/h’/a’/b’ 的vector size折半

Inner-Product Range Proof

< aL - z * 1^n, y^n · (aR + z * 1^n) + z^2 * 2^n >  
= < aL, y^n · (aR + z * 1^n) > 
  + < aL, z^2 * 2^n > 
  + < - z * 1^n, y^n · (aR + z * 1^n) >
  - z^3 * <1^n, 2^n>
=  <aL · aR, y^n> + <aL,  y^n · z * 1^n>
  + z^2 * <aL, 2^n>
  - z * <1^n, y^n · aR>
  - z^2 * <1^n, y^n>
  - z^3 * <1^n, 2^n>
=  0 + z * <aL, y^n>
  + z^2 * v
  - z * <aR, y^n>
  - z^2 * <1^n, y^n>
  - z^3 * <1^n, 2^n>
= z * <aL -aR, y^n>   
  + z^2 * v 
  - z^2 * <1^n, y^n>
  - z^3 * <1^n, 2^n>
= z^2 *v
  + (z - z^2) * <1^n, y^n>
  - z^3 * <1^n, 2^n>
= z^2 * v 
  + δ(y, z)

隐藏aL,引入sL、sR

A为aL/aR的commitment, S为sL/sR的commitment

结合Inner-Product, aL/aR/sL/sR 构造 linear vector polynomials

l(X) = (aL - z * 1^n) + sL · X
r(X) = y^n · (aR + z * 1^n + sR · X) + z^2 * 2^n 

t(X) = <l(X), r(X)> = t0 + t1 · X + t2 · X^2
显然,t0 = z^2 * v + δ(y, z)

再构造检查

  • t1,t2的commitments: T1, T2
  • l(x), r(x)的commitment: P
  • t与<l, r>相等

Logarithmic Range Proof

结合Inner-Product Argument, Inner-Product Range Proof,节省 l, r的传输,可优化为2log2(n) + 2 elements

达到n的Logarithmic

通过incrementally verifiable computation (IVC)构造recursive zk ARgument, 实现folding

Relaxed R1CS 将W, E均构造为witness;folding时,二者对应的commitment W’, E’也进行对应的变换

Relaxed R1CS: A, B, C ∈ F^(m x m)

public scalar u ∈ F
public x ∈ F^l
witness W ∈ F^(m−l−1)
Z = (W, x, u)

Folding:
    E ← E1 + r · (AZ1 ◦ BZ2 + AZ2 ◦ BZ1 − u1CZ2 − u2CZ1) + r2 · E2
    E ∈ F^m

    AZ ◦ BZ = (u1 + r · u2) · C(Z1 + rZ2) + E
        =  uCZ + E

    T = AZ1 ◦ BZ2 + AZ2 ◦ BZ1 − u1CZ2 − u2CZ1

    ...

Construction 1: E’ = Com(ppE , E, rE ) W’ = Com(ppW , W, rW ) T’ = Com(ppE , T, rT ) 将2个Relaxed R1CS instance/witness进行folding,得到新的instance/witness instance (E’, u, W’, x) witness (E, rE , W, rW )
