Proof system architecture refers to the structural design and components of a cryptographic system used to generate and verify proofs of computation. This architecture specifies how data is represented, how proofs are constructed, and the algorithms employed for verification. It encompasses the entire framework that enables one party to convince another of a statement’s truth without revealing sensitive information.
Context
The evolution of proof system architecture is a central focus in the development of scalable and privacy-preserving blockchain technologies. Discussions often compare different architectural approaches, such as SNARKs and STARKs, in terms of their efficiency, security properties, and setup requirements. Advancements in this area are critical for enabling complex computations and high transaction volumes on decentralized networks.
