Does Factoring have a Statistical Zero Knowledge Proof?

The title should be pretty self-explanatory, but to be more precise, consider the decision version of factoring, which is given input $(x,k)$, where $x$ and $k$ are binary encodings of integers, to ...

generalizing Ben-Or et al's two-prover bit commitment scheme beyond bits

In "Multi-Prover Interactive Proofs: How to Remove Intractability Assumptions" by Ben-Or, Goldwasser, Kilian, and Wigderson, the authors introduce a bit commitment protocol as a subroutine to their ...

Is perfect zero knowledge sequentially composable without auxiliary input?

It is known that plain and computational zero knowledge proof systems are not sequentially composable without auxiliary input (see for example http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1....

(Classical) Zero Knowledge protocol with quantum poly time simulator

We have lower bounds for classical zero-knowledge protocols (eg we cannot have 3-round zero-knowledge protocols for NP, with negligible soundness and black-box simulation). However, some of these ...

Non-interactive proof showing the multiplication of an encrypted matrix with a public vector is as claimed

Consider a "fantasy sports" setting where $m$ contestants each pick $k$ players from a set of $n$ players before a game. The state can be represented by a Boolean matrix $\mathbf{A}$ of size ...

concurrent non-malleable *statistical* zero knowledge

According to Huijia Lin and Rafael Pass's "Concurrent Non-Malleable Zero Knowledge with Adaptive Inputs" paper: if collision-resistant hash functions exist, then "there exists a $\omega\left(\log^...

Is SZK dependent on the verifier’s model of computation?

What if instead of a probabilistic TM, the verifier in the definition of SZK was a quantum TM? How would this affect its relation to other classes? Would Statistical Difference still be a complete ...

Is it possible to create an arbitrary $\textsf{NP}$-complete statement of chosen size $n$ and witness in polynomial time?

This questions came in my mind as I was reading the concept of hidden-bits of Feige, Lapidot and Shamir in "Multiple non-interactive zero knowledge proofs based on a single random string". There is ...

Why isn’t BQP in SZK?

It has been proven that $BQP \not\subset SZK$ (see p7 of this paper). On the other hand, Vadhan’s thesis on complete problems for SZK presents an easy reduction for why $BPP \subset SZK$ (Proposition ...
