Goldwasser-Kalai-Rothblum Protocol

Definition

Goldwasser-Kalai-Rothblum Protocol is a foundational interactive proof system in cryptography that enables a computationally powerful prover to convince a less powerful verifier of the truth of a mathematical statement. This protocol is significant for its theoretical contributions to the field of computational complexity and its influence on subsequent zero-knowledge proof constructions. It demonstrates how a verifier can gain confidence in a computation without performing the entire computation itself. The protocol illustrates a powerful concept for secure and efficient verification.
