This (currently) speeds up batch verification in libsecp256k1 by up to 9%.
Reopen of #220 which was automatically closed. Closes #219.
Applying Schwartz-Zippel may be detrimental if we want to allow a more general approach where randomizer
a_i
only depend onpk_1..pk_i
,m_1..m_i
andsig_1..sig_i
and not all pubkeys messages and sigs (this is actually currently implemented in bitcoin-core/secp256k1#1087. Hence, one can choosepk_{i+1}
and therefore biasa_{i+1}
after computinga_i
. SZ on the other hand requires the randomizers to be drawn random independently and uniformly.The proof sketch in the issue does not use SZ but instead a proof by induction that appears to be better suited for dependent
a_i
.
