报告摘要：Zero-Knowledge (ZK) protocols allow aproverto demonstrate the truth of a statement without disclosing additional information about the underlying witness.Code-based cryptography has a long history but did suffer from periods of slow development. Recently, a prominent line of research have been contributing to designing efficient code-based ZK from MPC-in-the-head (Ishai et al., STOC 2007) and VOLE-in-the head (VOLEitH) (Baum et al., Crypto 2023) paradigms, resulting in quite efficient standard signatures. However, none of them could be directly used to construct privacy-preserving cryptographic primitives. Therefore, Stern's protocols remain to be the major technical stepping stones for developing advanced code-based privacy-preserving systems.
