Research Highlights
Collaborative PLONK
Re-designed and implemented a new PLONK protocol using secure multiparty computation (MPC) and packed-secret sharing (PSS).
Achieved a 36× reduction in the prover’s computational bottleneck compared to the single-prover setting.
RESCU Cloud
Implemented a generic interactive-proof-based SNARK with MPC.
Ensured privacy and integrity in the all-but-one-honest-party setting.
Applied the model to CNN classifier.
Private Polynomial Commitment
Designed and implemented a new polynomial commitment (PC) scheme in which evaluation points are hidden from verifiers, and polynomials are hidden from both provers and verifiers.
Applied our PC scheme to a private set intersection problem, improving its scalability. We are able to scale up to 1,000 parties.
