ePrint Report: Benchmarking the Setup of Updatable zk-SNARKs

Karim Baghery, Axel Mertens, Mahdi Sedaghat

Subversion-resistant zk-SNARKs allow the provers to verify the Structured Reference String (SRS), via an SRS Verification (SV) algorithm and bypass the need for a Trusted Third Party (TTP). Pairing-based zk-SNARKs with \(updatable\) and \(universal\) SRS are an extension of subversion-resistant ones which additionally allow the verifiers to update the SRS, via an SRS Updating (SU) algorithm, and similarly bypass the need for a TTP. In this …
