Abstract

In this work, we explore the question of simultaneous privacy and soundness amplification for non-interactive zero-knowledge argument systems (NIZK). We show that any \(\delta _s-\)sound and \(\delta _z-\)zero-knowledge NIZK candidate satisfying \(\delta _s+\delta _z=1-\epsilon \), for any constant \(\epsilon >0\), can be turned into a computationally sound and zero-knowledge candidate with the only extra assumption of a subexponentially secure public-key encryption.
