Quasi-Linear Verification

Definition

Quasi-Linear Verification is a type of verification process where the computational cost for the verifier is nearly linear with respect to the size of the computation being proven. This means the verifier’s effort grows slightly faster than directly proportional to the input size, but significantly slower than a full re-execution of the computation. It represents a highly efficient form of verification, balancing computational savings with strong cryptographic guarantees. Such efficiency is crucial for scaling complex systems.
