Keynote: The Universal Cryptographic Adapter
Duration: 00:19:46
Speaker: Justin Glibert
Type: Talk
Expertise: Expert
Event: Devcon
Date: Nov 2024
The "secret" third affordance of Zero-Knowledge proof after 1) Privacy and 2) Succinctness is Interoperability. ZK enables us to continuously refactor data, aggregate it from different sources, and transforming it without loosing its integrity.
Starting with the Zupass project, and now with the broader adoption of the POD and GPC format, 0xPARC has been exploring using ZK for data sovereignty and creating more interoperable data ecosystem. We will cover our learnings and progress in this talk.

Programmable Cryptography and the future of the Internet
You rarely hear of issues at the networking layer of the Internet: networking companies are running utilities business: they are fungible and can be swapped if distrusted. Most of the value captured on the Internet -- and also most abuse -- happen at the Compute and Data layer of the Web. Ethereum gave us a glimpse of a fundamentally different architecture for Compute and Data than Client/Server architecture.We think the Internet is 1/3 complete, and that programmable cryptography can finish it.

Keynote: Programmable Cryptography and Ethereum
Programmable Cryptography is a "second generation" of cryptographic primitives - primitives that allow arbitrary programs to be executed "inside of" or "on top of" cryptographic objects. Programmable cryptography provides three key affordances that complement and amplify the affordances of Ethereum--verifiability, confidentiality, and non-interactivity. We'll discuss how these technologies can reshape the Internet over the next 50 years.

Clookup - Composite Function based Lookup Argument
Presenting Clookup, a novel lookup protocol that enhances efficiency in verifiable computations. By using a composite function approach and multivariate polynomials within the sumcheck protocol, Clookup achieves optimal time complexity \(O(m(m+n))\) when processing \(2^m\) witness elements against a \(2^n\) table. This method eliminates the need to compute coefficient forms of composite functions.

Lessons from integrating LogUp-GKR in the Miden VM
In this talk we will describe how to modify the STARK protocol to prove multiset checks using the GKR protocol. We will take a deep dive of the approach we’ve taken to implement it in the Miden VM, covering the benefits and challenges we've experienced.

Anon-Aadhaar Protocol using Halo2 and Noir
We will introduce the Anon-Aadhaar protocol which is an anonymity layer on top of a social security like Scheme (Aadhaar card) for Indian citizens using Zero-knowledge proofs. This can be used for getting many basic services in India like electricity, banking, etc. We will describe the implementation results of the protocol using Halo2 and Noir. We will also provide a comparative analysis of benchmarks using different backends like Circom, Halo2 and Noir.

Folding STARKs with the Mova folding scheme
We will present a new folding scheme that is 5 to 10 times more efficient than Nova, and 2.5 to 4 times more efficient than Hypernova. We will then explain how to use the scheme so as to construct a folding scheme for STARK proofs.

Introduction to hash-based proof systems
Over the last decade, ZK has been gaining attention due to its applications in verifiable private computation and the scalability of blockchains. The development of general-purpose zkvms powered with STARK/hash-based proof systems have made writing provable applications simpler, abstracting developers from the details of ZK. In this talk, we will explain the basics of hash-based proof systems, different arithmetization schemes and how to prove computations without needing a trusted setup.

Leveraging High-Performance Computing for Efficient STARK Provers
Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) protocols' applicability hinges on the prover's ability to efficiently generate proofs. This talk explores the computational aspects affecting ZKP performance, specifically focusing on STARK provers. We will analyze performance across high-performance and standard computing architectures and interpret results by examining key workload characteristics. From this understanding, we can project ZKP capabilities in future scenarios.

STARK proofs ELI5
Let's face it, ZK proofs are intimidating. But they don't have to be! ZK proofs are complex not because of the depth math they use, but because of the large number of fields of mathematics they leverage features from. In this talk, we'll break down STARK proofs into simple blocks and colorful analogies so that you get a good high level overview of how they work
