Title
Efficient Zero-Knowledge Proofs for Commitments from Learning With Errors over Rings.
Abstract
We extend a commitment scheme based on the learning with errors over rings $$\\mathsf{RLWE}$$ problem, and present efficient companion zero-knowledge proofs of knowledge. Our scheme maps elements from the ring or equivalently, n elements from $$\\mathbb F_q$$ to a small constant number of ring elements. We then construct $$\\varSigma $$-protocols for proving, in a zero-knowledge manner, knowledge of the message contained in a commitment. We are able to further extend our basic protocol to allow us to prove additive and multiplicative relations among committed values. Our protocols have a communication complexity of $$\\mathcal {O}Mn\\log q$$ and achieve a negligible knowledge error in one run. Here M is the constant from a rejection sampling technique that we employ, and can be set close to 1 by adjusting other parameters. Previously known $$\\varSigma $$-protocols for LWE-related languages only achieved a noticeable or even constant knowledge error thus requiring many repetitions of the protocol, or relied on \"smudging\" out the error which necessitates working over large fields, resulting in poor efficiency.
