Hey! I'm David, cofounder of zkSecurity and the author of the Real-World Cryptography book. I was previously a crypto architect at O(1) Labs (working on the Mina cryptocurrency), before that I was the security lead for Diem (formerly Libra) at Novi (Facebook), and a security consultant for the Cryptography Services of NCC Group. This is my blog about cryptography and security and other related topics that I find interesting.

The intuition behind the sum-check protocol in 5 minutes posted November 2022

The sum check protocol allows a prover to convince a verifier that the sum of a multivariate polynomial is equal to some known value. It’s an interactive protocol used in a lot of zero-knowledge protocols. I assume that you know the Schwartz Zippel lemma in this video, and only give you intuitions about how the protocol works.

Well done! You've reached the end of my post. Now you can leave a comment or read something else.
