Abstract

We show how to produce short proofs of theorems such that a distrusting Verifier can be convinced that the theorem is true yet obtains no information about the proof itself. The proofs are non-interactive provided that the quadratic residuosity bit commitment scheme is available to the Prover and Verifier. For typical applications, the proofs are short enough to fit on a floppy disk.
