Lattice-based folding: benchmarking Latticefold, and towards Nova-style folding

Albert Garreta

Abstract:

I will discuss our performance results for Ajtai commitments and the Latticefold scheme, comparing them to the performance of other popular non-latticed-based approaches. I will also present our work-in-progress (as of now) design of a lattice-based analogue of Nova.
