Abstract

We show that any language L in NP has a noninteractive zero-knowledge proof system which uses Θ(log(1/s) + nƐ) random bits, where s is the soundness error, n the length of the input and Ɛ can be any constant 0. In order to achieve this result, we formulate and investigate the problem of randomness-efficient error reduction for noninteractive zero-knowledge proofs, which generalizes the analogue and well-studied problem for BPP computation.
