SNARK Construction

Definition ∞ SNARK Construction refers to a specific method or algorithm used to build a Succinct Non-interactive ARgument of Knowledge (SNARK), a type of zero-knowledge proof system. These constructions vary in their cryptographic underpinnings, efficiency, and security assumptions. They enable verifiable computation with minimal proof size.
Context ∞ Research into SNARK constructions is a rapidly advancing area within cryptography, aiming to produce more efficient and secure zero-knowledge proof systems for various applications. Different constructions offer distinct advantages regarding setup requirements, proof generation time, and verification costs.
