GKR (Goldwasser–Kalai–Rothblum) proofs are an advanced cryptographic proving method designed to make complex computations faster and more efficient by verifying only the inputs and outputs of a process rather than every intermediate step. Using recursive “sumcheck” reductions, GKR significantly reduces prover overhead compared to traditional...

The Fiat-Shamir (FS) transform is a prolific and powerful technique for compiling public-coin interactive protocols into non-interactive ones. Roughly speaking, the idea is to replace the random coins of the verifier with the evaluations of a complex hash function. The FS transform is known to be sound in the random oracle model (i.e., when the hash function is modeled as a totally random function). However, when instantiating the random oracle using a concrete hash function, there are exampl...| IACR Cryptology ePrint Archive
