Abstract

2012 ACM Subject Classification Theory of computation → Complexity classes; Theory of compu- tation → Circuit complexity Keywords and phrases Kolmogorov Complexity, Interactive Proofs
We show that a decidable promise problem has a non-interactive statistical zero-knowledge proof system if and only if it is randomly reducible via an honest polynomial-time reduction to a promise problem for Kolmogorov-random strings, with a superlogarithmic additive approximation term. This extends recent work by Saks and Santhanam (CCC 2022). We build on this to give new characterizations of Statistical Zero Knowledge SZK, as well as the related classes NISZK L and SZK L.
