Explore advanced cryptographic commitment schemes in this conference session from Crypto 2025, chaired by Eylon Yogev. Delve into the theoretical foundations and practical applications of functional commitments and polynomial commitments, two crucial primitives in modern cryptography. Learn about the latest research developments, mathematical constructions, and security properties of these commitment schemes. Examine how functional commitments enable parties to commit to functions while later revealing evaluations on specific inputs, and understand polynomial commitments that allow efficient verification of polynomial evaluations without revealing the entire polynomial. Discover the applications of these techniques in zero-knowledge proofs, verifiable computation, and blockchain technologies. Access accompanying research papers and presentation slides to deepen your understanding of the cutting-edge developments presented by leading researchers in the cryptographic community.
