Ursa Minor: The Implementation Framework for Polaris
摘要
This paper conducts an analysis of algorithms within Polaris, a plausibly post-quantum zero-knowledge succinct non-interactive argument of knowledge (zkSNARK) protocol, by decomposing it into its construction components for detailed investigation. Recognizing the need for fast implementation in real-world applications, we introduce the Ursa Minor, an implementation framework tailored to evaluate Polaris’s efficiency. Our contribution in this framework are twofold: Firstly, we proposed a concrete GKR arithmetic circuit to be integrated in Polaris. Secondly, we optimized the efficiency of FRI protocol employed in Polaris, by eliminating the field inversion operations.
