Cryptographic hardness refers to the computational difficulty of solving specific mathematical problems that underpin cryptographic security. These problems are designed to be practically intractable for even the most powerful computers within a reasonable timeframe. The security of blockchain networks and digital signatures relies directly on the assumption of cryptographic hardness. Breaking these mathematical challenges would compromise the integrity and confidentiality of encrypted data and transactions.
Context
The state of cryptographic hardness is a constant area of research, particularly with the emergence of quantum computing. Discussions center on the potential threats quantum algorithms pose to existing cryptographic primitives and the development of post-quantum cryptography. A critical future development involves the transition to quantum-resistant cryptographic schemes to maintain long-term security for digital assets and communication. This ongoing research aims to secure information against future computational advancements.
This work delivers the first lattice-based argument with polylogarithmic verification time, resolving the trade-off between post-quantum security and SNARK succinctness.
