Proving Complexity

Definition

Proving Complexity refers to the computational resources, primarily time and memory, required by a prover to generate a cryptographic proof for a given statement. This metric is crucial for evaluating the practicality and efficiency of zero-knowledge proof systems. A lower proving complexity means proofs can be generated faster and with less computational cost, making the system more accessible and scalable. It is a key consideration in the design and implementation of privacy-preserving technologies.
