Interactive Oracle Proofs of Proximity (IOPP)
tl;dr: A relaxation of IOPs that is central to hash-based proof systems like FRI, STIR[^ACFY24eSTIR] and WHIR.
Error-correcting codes
tl;dr: Too many FRI[^BBHR18FRI] conjectures that need to be understood, so here we are…
Pedersen commitments
tl;dr: Pedersen commitments[^Pede91Comm] are one of the most important cryptographic primitives for a beginner to understand, in my opinion.
Zero-knowledge proofs for Aptos Keyless
tl;dr: Notes on our current use of Groth16 for Aptos Keyless and how we might improve upon it.
Should have applications to anonymous payments, confidential assets, zkVM proof wrapping etc.
Papamanthou-Shi-Tamassia (PST) multivariate polynomial commitments
tl;dr: The 1st multivariate polynomial commitment scheme based on a non-trivial generalization of KZG.
Cryptography on Aptos
tl;dr: (Almost?) all of the cryptography deployed on Aptos. For users, for developers and for general security.
