ZK protocols use special hash functions that are algebraically simple. But if our proof system supported lookup tables, could we do better?. Introducing Polocolo: a new ZK-friendly hash function for PlonKup, co-authored by Zellic Cryptographer @baaaaaarkingdog.

Polocolo was designed by Zellic Cryptographer @baaaaaarkingdog, a member of the KAIST CryptLab, along with fellow researchers from the same lab. In Part 2, weāll introduce the detailed specifications and cryptanalysis of Polocolo, along with a performance comparison with other.

The power residue method efficiently applies lookup tables to Fp elements for a large prime: p(ā2^256). The S-box built using the power residue method is of a high degree that requires only 14 PLONK gates, which is significantly fewer than the 94 gates required for the Bar.

To address the high cost in the Bars layer, an alternative approach was proposed, dubbed the power residue method. Polocolo is a lookup-based ZK-friendly hash function with a different design rationale. The name Polocolo derives from power residue for lower cost table lookup.

Reinforced Concrete is the first lookup-based ZK-friendly hash function, which consists of Bricks, Concrete, and Bars layers (this is where lookup tables are used). However, a key drawback is the high cost of evaluating the Bars layer in a ZK setting. Out of the 15 layers in.

If the ZK proof system only allows addition and multiplicative gates, operations that cannot be represented algebraically simply require a large number of constraints. But if the ZK proof system supports lookup gates, the required number of gates is dramatically reduced. So the

In ZK-friendly hash functions, the functions are algebraically simple for efficiency. So an attack against a ZK-friendly hash function focuses on the constrained-input constrained-output (CICO) problem, as solving the system of equations is usually the most effective attack
