Iterative Polynomial Evaluation

Definition

Iterative polynomial evaluation is a computational technique used to calculate the value of a polynomial at multiple points by repeatedly applying a specific evaluation method. In cryptographic systems, this method can be employed within zero-knowledge proofs or other privacy-preserving protocols to efficiently verify computations. It allows for succinct representation and verification of complex mathematical statements without revealing the underlying data. This process is crucial for scaling certain blockchain applications.
