Variants of KZG: Part I, Univariate
In this blog post, we dive into the world of polynomial commitment schemes (PCS), which are crucial for constructing most practical SNARKs. We cover the basics of how PCS works, focusing on KZG10, known for its efficiency in proof size and verification time. You'll learn about the essential properties of binding and hiding and explore technical concepts like homomorphism, batching, and unconditionally hiding. We break down various methods to achieve these features, offering insight into how PCS maintains the security and privacy of polynomials in cryptographic systems. Get ready to understand these powerful concepts and their applications in modern cryptography!
