A Quantum Pigeonhole Principle and Two Semidefinite Relaxations of Communication Complexity

Authors: Pavel Dvořák, Bruno Loff, and Suhail Sherif

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 364, 43rd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2026)


Abstract
We are interested in what happens when we take a Π₁ combinatorial statement, write its negation as a homogeneous quadratic feasibility problem (HQFP), and relax the problem into a positive semidefinite feasibility problem. This question is particularly interesting owing to the fact that any statement written as a PSD feasibility problem can be proven or disproven using a short proof. We investigate this for one very simple and one very complicated statement. The simple statement we look at is the pigeonhole principle. We prove that the relaxed negation of the PHP remains unsatisfiable and we thus obtain a new "quantum" pigeonhole principle (QPHP) which is a stronger statement than the vanilla PHP. It states that if we take n copies of the same state, and measure each copy using a measurement with only n-1 outcomes (the measurement can be different for different copies), then there will be an outcome j and two copies i₁, i₂ where the resulting states, obtained when the outcome is j for both copies, are not orthogonal. We then look at the statement "the deterministic communication complexity of f is ≤ k", where f could be either a function or a relation. We write this statement in two equivalent ways, using two different HQFPs. By relaxing to PSD feasibility, we increase the set of available protocols, and thus we always get a communication model which is stronger than deterministic communication complexity. An argument from proof complexity shows that any model obtained in this way will solve all Karchmer-Wigderson games efficiently. However, the argument is very indirect and does not give us an explicit protocol that solves the Karchmer-Wigderson games. We then work to find such protocols in the two communication models obtained by relaxing our two formulations. When relaxing the first of the two formulations we obtain a structured variant of the γ₂ norm. This communication model is to subunit γ₂ norm matrices like deterministic protocols are to rectangles, and so we call the protocols in this model γ₂ protocols. We show that log-inverse-discrepancy is a lower-bound for this model. We then show how to compute equality (deterministically) using O(1) bits of γ₂-communication, which implies that KW games are easy in the model. When relaxing the second of the two formulations we obtain what we call quantum lab protocols. This model happens to have a functional description, wherein Alice and Bob communicate solely via the outcomes of binary measurements of a shared quantum state (whose initial state is independent of the inputs). They are required to give the correct output with zero error probability. We use our QPHP to prove a lower-bound of n against two-round quantum lab protocols for equality. However we also show that any Boolean function f can be computed in three rounds and four measurements.

Computational Hardness of Estimating Quantum Entropies via Binary Entropy Bounds

Authors: Yupan Liu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 364, 43rd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2026)


Abstract
We investigate the computational hardness of estimating the quantum α-Rényi entropy S^𝚁_α(ρ) = (ln Tr(ρ^α))/(1-α) and the quantum q-Tsallis entropy S^𝚃_q(ρ) = (1-Tr(ρ^q))/(q-1), both converging to the von Neumann entropy as the order approaches 1. The promise problems Quantum α-Rényi Entropy Approximation (RényiQEA_α) and Quantum q-Tsallis Entropy Approximation (TsallisQEA_q) ask whether S^𝚁_α(ρ) or S^𝚃_q(ρ), respectively, is at least τ_Y or at most τ_N, where τ_Y - τ_N is typically a positive constant. Previous hardness results cover only the von Neumann entropy (order 1) and some cases of the quantum q-Tsallis entropy, while existing approaches do not readily extend to other orders. We establish that for all positive real orders, the rank-2 variants Rank2RényiQEA_α and Rank2TsallisQEA_q are BQP-hard. Combined with prior (rank-dependent) quantum query algorithms in Wang, Guan, Liu, Zhang, and Ying (TIT 2024), Wang, Zhang, and Li (TIT 2024), and Liu and Wang (SODA 2025), our results imply: - For all real order α > 0 and 0 < q ≤ 1, LowRankRényiQEA_α and LowRankTsallisQEA_q are BQP-complete, where both are restricted versions of RényiQEA_α and TsallisQEA_q with ρ of polynomial rank. - For all real order q > 1, TsallisQEA_q is BQP-complete. Our hardness results stem from reductions based on new inequalities relating the α-Rényi or q-Tsallis binary entropies of different orders, where the reductions differ substantially from previous approaches, and the inequalities are also of independent interest.

Lower Bounds and Separations for Torus Polynomials

Authors: Vaibhav Krishan and Sundar Vishwanathan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)


Abstract
The class ACC⁰ consists of Boolean functions that can be computed by constant-depth circuits of polynomial size with AND, NOT and MOD_m gates, where m is a natural number. At the frontier of our understanding lies a widely believed conjecture asserting that MAJORITY does not belong to ACC⁰. A few years ago, Bhrushundi, Hosseini, Lovett and Rao (ITCS 2019) introduced torus polynomial approximations as an approach towards this conjecture. Torus polynomials approximate Boolean functions when the fractional part of their value on Boolean points is close to half the value of the function. They reduced the conjecture that MAJORITY ∉ ACC⁰ to a conjecture concerning the non-existence of low degree torus polynomials that approximate MAJORITY. We reduce the non-existence problem further, to a statement about finding feasible solutions for an infinite family of linear programs. The main advantage of this statement is that it allows for incremental progress, which means finding feasible solutions for successively larger collections of these programs. As an immediate first step, we find feasible solutions for a large class of these linear programs, leaving only a finite set for further consideration. Our method is inspired by the method of dual polynomials, which is used to study the approximate degree of Boolean functions. Using our method, we also propose a way to progress further. We prove several additional key results with the same method, which include: - A lower bound on the degree of symmetric torus polynomials that approximate the AND function. As a consequence, we get a separation that symmetric torus polynomials are weaker than their asymmetric counterparts. - An error-degree trade-off for symmetric torus polynomials approximating the MAJORITY function, strengthening the corresponding result of Bhrushundi, Hosseini, Lovett and Rao (ITCS 2019). - The first lower bounds against torus polynomials approximating AND, showcasing the power of the machinery we develop. This lower bound nearly matches the corresponding upper bound. Hence, we get an almost complete characterization of the torus polynomial approximation degree of AND. - Lower bounds against asymmetric torus polynomials approximating MAJORITY, or AND, in the very low error regime. This partially answers a question posed in Bhrushundi, Hosseini, Lovett and Rao (ITCS 2019) about error-reduction for torus polynomials.

Decentralized Data Archival: New Definitions and Constructions

Authors: Elaine Shi, Rose Silver, and Changrui Mu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)


Abstract
We initiate the study of a new abstraction called incremental decentralized data archival (iDDA). Specifically, imagine that there is an ever-growing, massive database such as a blockchain, a comprehensive human knowledge base like Wikipedia, or the Internet archive. We want to build a decentralized archival system for such datasets to ensure long-term robustness and sustainability. We identify several important properties that an iDDA scheme should satisfy. First, to promote heterogeneity and decentralization, we want to encourage even weak nodes with limited space (e.g., users' home computers) to contribute. The minimum space requirement to contribute should be approximately independent of the data size. Second, if a collection of nodes together receive rewards commensurate with contributing a total of m blocks of space, then we want the following reassurances: 1) if m is at least the database size, we should be able to reconstruct the entire dataset; and 2) these nodes should actually be committing roughly m space in aggregate - specifically, when m is much larger than the data size, these nodes cannot store only one copy of the database, and be able to impersonate arbitrarily many pseudonyms and get unbounded rewards. We propose new definitions that mathematically formalize the aforementioned requirements of an iDDA scheme. We also devise an efficient construction in the random oracle model which satisfies the desired security requirements. Our scheme incurs only Õ(1) audit cost, as well as Õ(1) update cost for both the publisher and each node, where Õ(⋅) hides polylogarithmic factors. Further, the minimum space provisioning required to contribute is as small as polylogarithmic. Our construction exposes several interesting technical challenges. Specifically, we show that a straightforward application of the standard hierarchical data structure fails, since both our security definition and the underlying cryptographic primitives we employ lack the desired compositional guarantees. We devise novel techniques to overcome these compositional issues, resulting in a construction with provable security while still retaining efficiency. Finally, our new definitions also make a conceptual contribution, and lay the theoretical groundwork for the study of iDDA. We raise several interesting open problems along this direction.

Testing Classical Properties from Quantum Data

Authors: Matthias C. Caro, Preksha Naik, and Joseph Slote

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)


Abstract
Many properties of Boolean functions can be tested far more efficiently than the function itself can be learned. However, this dramatic advantage often disappears when testers are limited to random samples of f instead of adaptively chosen queries to f. In this work we investigate the quantum version of this restriction: quantum algorithms that test properties of a Boolean function f solely from copies of either the function state |f⟩∝ ∑_x|x,f(x)⟩ or the phase state |(-1)^f⟩∝ ∑_x (-1)^{f(x)}|x⟩. Quantum advantage in testing from data. For monotonicity, symmetry, and triangle-freeness, we show passive quantum testers are unboundedly or super-polynomially better than their classical passive testing counterparts. They are competitive with classic query-based testers in each case. Inadequacy of Fourier sampling. Our new testers use techniques beyond quantum Fourier sampling, and it turns out this is necessary: we show a certain class of bent functions can be tested from 𝒪(1) function states but has a sample complexity lower bound of 2^{Ω(n)} for any tester relying exclusively on Fourier and classical samples. Classical queries vs. quantum data. Our passive quantum testers are competitive with classical query-based testers, but this isn't universal: we exhibit a testing problem that can be solved from 𝒪(1) classical queries but requires Ω(2^{n/2}) function state copies. The Forrelation problem provides a separation of the same magnitude in the opposite direction, so we conclude that quantum data and classical queries are "maximally incomparable" resources for testing. Towards lower bounds. We also begin the study of lower bounds for testing from quantum data. For quantum monotonicity testing, we prove that the ensembles of [Goldreich et al., 2000; Black, 2024], which give exponential lower bounds for classical sample-based testing, do not yield any nontrivial lower bounds for testing from quantum data. New insights specific to quantum data will be required for proving copy complexity lower bounds for testing in this model.

Interactive Proofs for Distribution Testing with Conditional Oracles

Authors: Ari Biswas, Mark Bun, Clément L. Canonne, and Satchit Sivakumar

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)


Abstract
We revisit the framework of interactive proofs for distribution testing, first introduced by Chiesa and Gur (ITCS 2018), which has recently experienced a surge in interest, accompanied by notable progress (e.g., Herman and Rothblum, STOC 2022, FOCS 2023; Herman, RANDOM 2024). In this model, a data-poor verifier determines whether a probability distribution has a property of interest by interacting with an all-powerful, data-rich but untrusted prover bent on convincing them that it has the property. While prior work gave sample-, time-, and communication-efficient protocols for testing and estimating a range of distribution properties, they all suffer from an inherent issue: for most interesting properties of distributions over a domain of size N, the verifier must draw at least Ω(√N) samples of its own. While sublinear in N, this is still prohibitive for large domains encountered in practice. In this work, we circumvent this limitation by augmenting the verifier with the ability to perform an exponentially smaller number of more powerful (but reasonable) pairwise conditional queries, effectively enabling them to perform "local comparison checks" of the prover’s claims. We systematically investigate the landscape of interactive proofs in this new setting, giving poly-logarithmic query and sample protocols for (tolerantly) testing all label-invariant properties, thus demonstrating exponential savings without compromising on communication, for this large and fundamental class of testing tasks.

Linear Time Encodable Binary Code Achieving GV Bound with Linear Time Encodable Dual Achieving GV Bound

Authors: Martijn Brehm and Nicolas Resch

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)


Abstract
We initiate the study of what we term "fast good codes" with "fast good duals." Specifically, we consider the task of constructing a binary linear code C ≤ 𝔽₂ⁿ such that both it and its dual C^⟂ : = {x ∈ 𝔽₂ⁿ:∀ c ∈ C, ⟨ x,c⟩ = 0} are asymptotically good (in fact, have rate-distance tradeoff approaching the GV bound), and are encodable in O(n) time. While we believe such codes should find applications more broadly, as motivation we describe how such codes can be used the secure computation task of encrypted matrix-vector product, as studied by Behhamouda et al (CCS 2025). Our main contribution is a construction of such a fast good code with fast good dual. Our construction is inspired by the repeat multiple accumulate (RMA) codes of Divsalar, Jin and McEliece (Allerton, 1998). To create the rate 1/2 code, after repeating each message coordinate, we perform accumulation steps - where first a uniform coordinate permutation is applied, and afterwards the prefix-sum modulo 2 is applied - which are alternated with discrete derivative steps - where again a uniform coordinate permutation is applied, and afterwards the previous two coordinates are summed modulo 2. Importantly, these two operations are inverse of each other. In particular, the dual of the code is very similar, with the accumulation and discrete derivative steps reversed. Our analysis is inspired by a prior analysis of RMA codes due to Ravazzi and Fagnani (IEEE Trans. Info. Theory, 2009). The main idea is to bound the input-output weight-enumerator function: the expected number of messages of a given weight that are encoded into a codeword of a given weight. We face new challenges in controlling the behaviour of the discrete derivative matrix (which can significantly drop the weight of a vector), which we overcome by careful case analysis.

On the Complexity of Unique Quantum Witnesses and Quantum Approximate Counting

Authors: Anurag Anshu, Jonas Haferkamp, Yeongwoo Hwang, and Quynh T. Nguyen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)


Abstract
We study the long-standing open question on the power of unique witnesses in quantum protocols, which asks if UniqueQMA, a variant of QMA whose accepting witness space is 1-dimensional, contains QMA under quantum reductions. This work rules out any black-box reduction from QMA to UniqueQMA by showing a quantum oracle separation between BQP^UniqueQMA and QMA. This provides a contrast to the classical case, where the Valiant-Vazirani theorem shows a black-box randomized reduction from UniqueNP to NP, and suggests the need for studying the structure of the ground space of local Hamiltonians in distilling a potential unique witness. Via similar techniques, we show, relative to a quantum oracle, that QMA^QMA cannot decide quantum approximate counting, ruling out a quantum analogue of Stockmeyer’s algorithm in the black-box setting. Our results employ a subspace reflection oracle, previously considered in [Scott Aaronson and Greg Kuperberg, 2007; Scott Aaronson et al., 2020; She and Yuen, 2023], but we introduce new tools which allow us to exploit the unique witness constraint. We also show a strong "polarization" behavior of QMA circuits, which could be of independent interest in studying quantum polynomial hierarchies. We then ask a natural question; what structural properties of the local Hamiltonian problem can we exploit? We introduce a physically motivated candidate by showing that the ground energy of local Hamiltonians that satisfy a computational variant of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) can be estimated through a UniqueQMA protocol. Our protocol can be viewed as a quantum expander test in a low energy subspace of the Hamiltonian and verifies a unique entangled state across two copies of the subspace. This allows us to conclude that if UniqueQMA is not equivalent to QMA, then QMA-hard Hamiltonians must violate ETH under adversarial perturbations (more accurately, further assuming the quantum PCP conjecture if ETH only applies to extensive energy subspaces). Under the same assumption, this also serves as evidence that chaotic local Hamiltonians, such as the SYK model may be computationally simpler than general local Hamiltonians.

Authors: Shibam Mukherjee, Christian Rechberger, and Markus Schofnegger

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 354, 7th Conference on Advances in Financial Technologies (AFT 2025)


Abstract
The area of modern zero-knowledge proof systems has seen a significant rise in popularity over the last couple of years, with new techniques and optimized constructions emerging on a regular basis. As the field matures, the aspect of implementation attacks becomes more relevant, however side-channel attacks on zero-knowledge proof systems have seen surprisingly little treatment so far. In this paper, we give an overview of potential attack vectors and show that some of the underlying finite field libraries, and implementations of heavily used components like hash functions using them, are vulnerable w.r.t. cache attacks on CPUs. On the positive side, we demonstrate that the computational overhead to protect against these attacks is relatively small.

On Estimating the Quantum 𝓁_α Distance

Authors: Yupan Liu and Qisheng Wang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)


Abstract
We study the computational complexity of estimating the quantum 𝓁_α distance T_α(ρ₀,ρ₁), defined via the Schatten α-norm ‖A‖_α := tr(|A|^α)^{1/α}, given poly(n)-size state-preparation circuits of n-qubit quantum states ρ₀ and ρ₁. This quantity serves as a lower bound on the trace distance for α > 1. For any constant α > 1, we develop an efficient rank-independent quantum estimator for T_α(ρ₀,ρ₁) with time complexity poly(n), achieving an exponential speedup over the prior best results of exp(n) due to Wang, Guan, Liu, Zhang, and Ying (IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 2024). Our improvement leverages efficiently computable uniform polynomial approximations of signed positive power functions within quantum singular value transformation, thereby eliminating the dependence on the rank of the states. Our quantum algorithm reveals a dichotomy in the computational complexity of the Quantum State Distinguishability Problem with Schatten α-norm (QSD_α), which involves deciding whether T_α(ρ₀,ρ₁) is at least 2/5 or at most 1/5. This dichotomy arises between the cases of constant α > 1 and α = 1: - For any 1+Ω(1) ≤ α ≤ O(1), QSD_α is BQP-complete. - For any 1 ≤ α ≤ 1+1/n, QSD_α is QSZK-complete, implying that no efficient quantum estimator for T_α(ρ₀,ρ₁) exists unless BQP = QSZK. The hardness results follow from reductions based on new rank-dependent inequalities for the quantum 𝓁_α distance with 1 ≤ α ≤ ∞, which are of independent interest.

Quantum Property Testing in Sparse Directed Graphs

Authors: Simon Apers, Frédéric Magniez, Sayantan Sen, and Dániel Szabó

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 353, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2025)


Abstract
We initiate the study of quantum property testing in sparse directed graphs, and more particularly in the unidirectional model, where the algorithm is allowed to query only the outgoing edges of a vertex. In the classical unidirectional model, the problem of testing k-star-freeness, and more generally k-source-subgraph-freeness, is almost maximally hard for large k. We prove that this problem has almost quadratic advantage in the quantum setting. Moreover, we show that this advantage is nearly tight, by showing a quantum lower bound using the method of dual polynomials on an intermediate problem for a new, property testing version of the k-collision problem that was not studied before. To illustrate that not all problems in graph property testing admit such a quantum speedup, we consider the problem of 3-colorability in the related undirected bounded-degree model, when graphs are now undirected. This problem is maximally hard to test classically, and we show that also quantumly it requires a linear number of queries.

Towards Free Lunch Derandomization from Necessary Assumptions (And OWFs)

Authors: Marshall Ball, Lijie Chen, and Roei Tell

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 339, 40th Computational Complexity Conference (CCC 2025)


Abstract
The question of optimal derandomization, introduced by Doron et. al (JACM 2022), garnered significant recent attention. Works in recent years showed conditional superfast derandomization algorithms, as well as conditional impossibility results, and barriers for obtaining superfast derandomization using certain black-box techniques. Of particular interest is the extreme high-end, which focuses on "free lunch" derandomization, as suggested by Chen and Tell (FOCS 2021). This is derandomization that incurs essentially no time overhead, and errs only on inputs that are infeasible to find. Constructing such algorithms is challenging, and so far there have not been any results following the one in their initial work. In their result, their algorithm is essentially the classical Nisan-Wigderson generator, and they relied on an ad-hoc assumption asserting the existence of a function that is non-batch-computable over all polynomial-time samplable distributions. In this work we deduce free lunch derandomization from a variety of natural hardness assumptions. In particular, we do not resort to non-batch-computability, and the common denominator for all of our assumptions is hardness over all polynomial-time samplable distributions, which is necessary for the conclusion. The main technical components in our proofs are constructions of new and superfast targeted generators, which completely eliminate the time overheads that are inherent to all previously known constructions. In particular, we present an alternative construction for the targeted generator by Chen and Tell (FOCS 2021), which is faster than the original construction, and also more natural and technically intuitive. These contributions significantly strengthen the evidence for the possibility of free lunch derandomization, distill the required assumptions for such a result, and provide the first set of dedicated technical tools that are useful for studying the question.

Improved Lower Bounds for 3-Query Matching Vector Codes

Authors: Divesh Aggarwal, Pranjal Dutta, Zeyong Li, Maciej Obremski, and Sidhant Saraogi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 325, 16th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2025)


Abstract
A Matching Vector (MV) family modulo a positive integer m ≥ 2 is a pair of ordered lists U = (u_1, ⋯, u_K) and V = (v_1, ⋯, v_K) where u_i, v_j ∈ ℤ_m^n with the following property: for any i ∈ [K], the inner product ⟨u_i, v_i⟩ = 0 mod m, and for any i ≠ j, ⟨u_i, v_j⟩ ≠ 0 mod m. An MV family is called r-restricted if inner products ⟨u_i, v_j⟩, for all i,j, take at most r different values. The r-restricted MV families are extremely important since the only known construction of constant-query subexponential locally decodable codes (LDCs) are based on them. Such LDCs constructed via matching vector families are called matching vector codes. Let MV(m,n) (respectively MV(m, n, r)) denote the largest K such that there exists an MV family (respectively r-restricted MV family) of size K in ℤ_m^n. Such a MV family can be transformed in a black-box manner to a good r-query locally decodable code taking messages of length K to codewords of length N = m^n. For small prime m, an almost tight bound MV(m,n) ≤ O(m^{n/2}) was first shown by Dvir, Gopalan, Yekhanin (FOCS'10, SICOMP'11), while for general m, the same paper established an upper bound of O(m^{n-1+o_m(1)}), with o_m(1) denoting a function that goes to zero when m grows. For any arbitrary constant r ≥ 3 and composite m, the best upper bound till date on MV(m,n,r) is O(m^{n/2}), is due to Bhowmick, Dvir and Lovett (STOC'13, SICOMP'14).In a breakthrough work, Alrabiah, Guruswami, Kothari and Manohar (STOC'23) implicitly improve this bound for 3-restricted families to MV(m, n, 3) ≤ O(m^{n/3}). In this work, we present an upper bound for r = 3 where MV(m,n,3) ≤ m^{n/6 +O(log n)}, and as a result, any 3-query matching vector code must have codeword length of N ≥ K^{6-o(1)}.

Accumulation Without Homomorphism

Authors: Benedikt Bünz, Pratyush Mishra, Wilson Nguyen, and William Wang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 325, 16th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2025)


Abstract
Accumulation schemes are a simple yet powerful primitive that enable highly efficient constructions of incrementally verifiable computation (IVC). Unfortunately, all prior accumulation schemes rely on homomorphic vector commitments whose security is based on public-key assumptions. It is an interesting open question to construct efficient accumulation schemes that avoid the need for such assumptions. In this paper, we answer this question affirmatively by constructing an accumulation scheme from non-homomorphic vector commitments which can be realized from solely symmetric-key assumptions (e.g., Merkle trees). We overcome the need for homomorphisms by instead performing spot-checks over error-correcting encodings of the committed vectors. Unlike prior accumulation schemes, our scheme only supports a bounded number of accumulation steps. We show that such bounded-depth accumulation still suffices to construct proof-carrying data (a generalization of IVC). We also demonstrate several optimizations to our PCD construction which greatly improve concrete efficiency.

Streaming Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Authors: Graham Cormode, Marcel Dall'Agnol, Tom Gur, and Chris Hickey

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 300, 39th Computational Complexity Conference (CCC 2024)


Abstract
Streaming interactive proofs (SIPs) enable a space-bounded algorithm with one-pass access to a massive stream of data to verify a computation that requires large space, by communicating with a powerful but untrusted prover. This work initiates the study of zero-knowledge proofs for data streams. We define the notion of zero-knowledge in the streaming setting and construct zero-knowledge SIPs for the two main algorithmic building blocks in the streaming interactive proofs literature: the sumcheck and polynomial evaluation protocols. To the best of our knowledge all known streaming interactive proofs are based on either of these tools, and indeed, this allows us to obtain zero-knowledge SIPs for central streaming problems such as index, point and range queries, median, frequency moments, and inner product. Our protocols are efficient in terms of time and space, as well as communication: the verifier algorithm’s space complexity is polylog(n) and, after a non-interactive setup that uses a random string of near-linear length, the remaining parameters are n^o(1). En route, we develop an algorithmic toolkit for designing zero-knowledge data stream protocols, consisting of an algebraic streaming commitment protocol and a temporal commitment protocol. Our analyses rely on delicate algebraic and information-theoretic arguments and reductions from average-case communication complexity.
