zkSecurity x Bain Capital (Whiteboard Session): Unveiling the Power of Multi-Party Computation

ZK/SEC June 04, 2024 1 min

We're excited to announce our participation in Bain Capital Crypto's Whiteboards series!

In the inaugural episode, David teams up with Guillermo Angeris, Bain Capital Crypto's Head of Research, to delve into the fascinating world of Multi-Party Computation (MPC).

Watch the full episode and explore the cutting-edge of multi-party computations.

Part 1: additively-shared secrets in arithmetic circuits

Part 2: Shamir Secret Sharing and multiplications

Both episodes are part of the Bain Capital Crypto Whiteboards playlist.

Checking the Checkers and Auditing the Ironwood FV

Cryptographic software is error-prone and failures are catastrophic, therefore formal verification is a powerful and increasingly practical tool for greatly improving the assurances of our cryptographic software. But who verifies the formal verification? Formal verification itself is software too, what is proved, under which assumptions and its relation to the real-world implementation lie beyond the scope of the machine-checked proof. In this post, we want to give some insights into our three-week audit of the Ironwood formalization and some of the common pitfalls that formal verification more broadly can encounter.

A Gentle Introduction to the MPC-in-the-Head Transformation

In this blog post, we dive into the fascinating world of zero-knowledge proofs using the MPC-in-the-Head transformation, a clever method that constructs proof systems from any secure multiparty computation protocol. Originally proposed in 2007, this transformation uses a creative approach involving "imaginary parties" to prove knowledge without revealing it. We explain how this technique can be applied to develop post-quantum signature schemes, providing insights into its practical implications and efficiency. By exploring these concepts, readers will uncover a unique intersection of cryptography and computer science.

noname meets Ethereum: Integration with SnarkJS

We're excited to share that our programming language, noname, now supports R1CS, making it easier to write zero-knowledge (ZK) circuits and deploy them on Ethereum using SnarkJS. This update introduces an alternative to the common Circom language, with a simple and intuitive syntax inspired by Rust and Golang. In this post, we illustrate how to deploy a noname-based Sudoku circuit on Ethereum, demonstrating core benefits like proving a solution's correctness without revealing it. Dive in to explore how noname could potentially unify the fragmented zkSNARK ecosystem and simplify your circuit writing process!
