摘要:We show that any concurrent zero-knowledge protocol for a non-trivial language (i.e., for a language outside \BPP ), whose security is proven via black-box simulation, must use at least ( log n ) rounds of interaction. This result achieves a substantial improvement over previous lower bounds, and is the first bound to rule out the possibility of constant-round concurrent zero-knowledge when proven via black-box simulation. Furthermore, the bound is polynomially related to the number of rounds in the best known concurrent zero-knowledge protocol for languages in \NP .
