Cubic Prover Complexity

Definition

Cubic Prover Complexity refers to a computational characteristic in cryptographic proof systems where the time required for a prover to generate a proof scales cubically with the size of the computation being proven. This means that if the computation doubles in size, the prover’s time requirement increases eightfold. This complexity measure is a key consideration in the design and selection of zero-knowledge proof protocols, impacting their practical feasibility for various applications. Lower prover complexity is generally preferred for efficiency.
