New post on EthResear.ch! Linearly-homomorphic signatures for RLNC By: - Dan Boneh - b-wagn - arantxazapico 🔗 ethresear.ch/t/24072 Highlights: - The use of Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) can significantly reduce the amount of data sent during block propagation in Ethereum. - Linearly-homomorphic signatures (LHS) allow for the combination of signatures on linear combinations of data, which helps in verifying the integrity of the data without sending multiple commitments. - The proposed method reduces the communication overhead by allowing the block proposer to send only a few vectors and their corresponding signatures instead of the entire block. - The security of the proposed scheme relies on the co-computational Diffie-Hellman assumption, which is currently vulnerable to quantum attacks, indicating a need for post-quantum security solutions. - Future work should focus on adapting the LHS scheme to be secure against quantum computing threats, ensuring the longevity and security of the RLNC-based block propagation method. ELI5: This research discusses a new way to send data in Ethereum using something called Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC). Instead of sending all the data at once, it sends smaller pieces that can be combined later. To ensure these pieces are valid, it uses a special type of signature that allows for combining signatures without needing to send all the original data again.
















What role does ZK have in the future of @arbitrum chains? @zkLumi explained this (and more!) during our last Aligned Guests stream:
