Schnorr Protocol
The Schnorr Protocol is a cryptographic protocol used for secure communication and digital signatures. It was originally proposed by Claus-Peter Schnorr in 1989 and has gained attention for its simplicity and efficiency. There are both interactive and non-interactive versions of the Schnorr Protocol.
Interactive Schnorr Protocol
a. Key Generation:
The prover generates a public-private key pair.
s k = a ; p k = a ⋅ G sk = a; pk = a \cdot G sk=a;pk=a⋅G
b. Commitment:
The prover chooses a random number r r r and commits to the value R R R.
R = r ⋅ G R = r \cdot G R=r⋅G
c. Challenge:
The verifier sends a random challenge c c c to the prover.
d. Response:
The prover responds to the challenge with information derived from the secret key. The prover sends z z z to the verifier.
z = r + c ⋅ s k z = r + c \cdot sk z=r+c⋅sk
e. Verification:
The verifier checks the validity of the response and decides whether to accept or reject.
z ⋅ G = ? R + c ⋅ p k z \cdot G \overset{\text{?}}{=} R + c \cdot pk z⋅G=?R+c⋅pk
Non-Interactive Schnorr Protocol
The non-interactive version is designed to be more efficient and is often used in scenarios where a single round of communication is preferred.
This is achieved by using a technique called a Fiat-Shamir transform, which converts an interactive protocol into a non-interactive one by replacing the challenge from the verifier with a hash function.
The steps involved in the non-interactive Schnorr Protocol are as follows:
a. Key Generation:
The prover generates a public-private key pair.

b. Commitment:
The prover chooses a random number r r r and commits to the value R R R, similar to the interactive version.
R = r ⋅ G R = r \cdot G R=r⋅G
c. Hashing:
The prover hashes the commitment and other relevant information to generate a challenge.
c = Hash ( p k , R ) c = \text{Hash}(pk,R) c=Hash(pk,R)
d. Response:
The prover responds to the challenge with information derived from the secret key. The prover sends z z z and R R R to the verifier.
z = r + c ⋅ s k z = r + c \cdot sk z=r+c⋅sk
e. Verification:
The verifier checks the validity of the response using the hash function and decides whether to accept or reject.
