We study distributed zero-knowledge proofs, introduced by Bick, Kol, and Oshman (SODA 2022). While distributed interactive proofs have advanced rapidly, general-purpose techniques for distributed zero-knowledge remain limited and mostly…

We investigate distribution testing with access to non-adaptive conditional samples. In the conditional sampling model, the algorithm is given the following access to a distribution: it submits a query set $S$ to an oracle, which returns a…

In multi-prover interactive proofs (MIPs), the verifier is usually non-adaptive. This stems from an implicit problem which we call ``contamination'' by the verifier. We make explicit the verifier contamination problem, and identify a…
