Introduction to hash-based proof systems

Devcon 7 · 12 Nov 2024 · 8:57

Diego Kingston introduces hash-based proof systems at Devcon 7, covering how constructions built purely from hash functions, without relying on elliptic curve or pairing-based cryptography, can produce succinct proofs. The talk considers the appeal of hash-based approaches for post-quantum security in zero-knowledge proof systems, weighing their conservative cryptographic assumptions against the larger proof sizes they often produce compared to pairing-based SNARKs.
