We show that for every polynomial q* there exist polynomial-size, constant-query, non-adaptive PCPs for NP which are perfect zero knowledge against (adaptive) adversaries making at most q* queries to the proof. In addition, we construct…

Zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) is a fundamental cryptographic primitive that allows a prover to convince a verifier of the validity of a statement without leaking any further information. As an efficient variant of ZKP, non-interactive…

A non-interactive ZK (NIZK) proof enables verification of NP statements without revealing secrets about them. However, an adversary that obtains a NIZK proof may be able to clone this proof and distribute arbitrarily many copies of it to…
