Description
Springer Concurrent Zero-Knowledge With Additional Background By Oded Goldreich 2006 Edition by Alon Rosen
Protocols that remain zero-knowledge when many instances are executed concurrently are called concurrent zero-knowledge and this book is devoted to their study. The book presents constructions of concurrent zero-knowledge protocols along with proofs of security. It also shows why "traditional" proof techniques (i.e. black-box simulation) are not suitable for establishing the concurrent zero-knowledge property of "message-efficient" protocols.
