zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

2. • This is the third in a series of presentations dedicated to SAP
Landscape Virtualization Management (LVM)
• This document provides a quick overview of how to integrate
SAP LVM Post Copy Automation (PCA) in SAP LVM
• The document is aimed at system administrators responsible
for configuring SAP LVM and performing SAP system copies
• The document assumes the reader has a high level of
experience with system copies and associated terminology
Introduction
3. Overview
• SAP LVM Enterprise Edition can be used for various system
provisioning activities such as cloning, copying, refreshing and
renaming of SAP systems
• With Enterprise Edition, customers have the option to use PCA
for ABAP and Java systems
• SAP LVM Enterprise Edition allows integration of PCA for SAP
systems without activating them for provisioning activities i.e. it
can be invoked in standalone mode
• This document focuses on the integration of standalone PCA
with an example showing steps following a database refresh
4. Pre-‐Requisites
in
ABAP
• Before integrating PCA with LVM you must configure PCA in the back-‐
end systemthat is the target of the systemcopy
• An overview of this configuration is available in SlideShare document
entitled “SAP Post Copy Automation”
• In addition to this configuration, a system user (e.g. LVMADM) with
high authorizations (e.g. SAP_ALL) is required in all clients excluding
client 000
• This system user is used during the PCA BDLS task in the back-‐end
systemvia RFC calls from client 000 to all other relevant clients
• Ensure you know the password for SAP* in client 000 of the source
system as this will be needed by PCA before the user masters are
imported into the new target system
5. Configuration
in
LVM
• Before being able to perform any system copy or refresh
related activities, the system must be enabled for provisioning
in LVM
• The system is enabled for provisioning in the “Systems” tab
under the “Configuration” section
6. Configuration
in
LVM
• Edit the system for which provisioning should be enabled and
select the “Standalone PCA” radio button in the “System and AS
Provisioning” section
7. Configuration
in
LVM
• Now, in the “Provisioning” section, with the system selected,
you will see the new button “Standalone PCA”
• Standalone PCA can now be executed for this system
8. Task
Lists
• Depending on your scenario (i.e. copy or refresh) you will need
to decide which PCA tasks to execute in the system
• For a system copy, you’ll probably want to include PCA standard
task lists SAP_BASIS_COPY_INITIAL_CONFIG and
SAP_BASIS_COPY_BDLS
• For a system refresh (export), you’ll probably want to include
PCA standard task lists SAP_BASIS_COPY_REFRESH_EXPORT
• For a system refresh (import), you’ll probably want to include
PCA standard task lists SAP_BASIS_COPY_REFRESH_IMPORT
and SAP_BASIS_COPY_BDLS
9. Execution
for
System
Refresh
• Start the standalone PCA with type “Task List Execution”
10. Execution
for
System
Refresh
• Using the “Add” button and drop-‐down, add tasks
– SAP_BASIS_COPY_REFRESH_IMPORT
– SAP_BASIS_COPY_BDLS
• Modify the parameters for the BDLS task
11. Execution
for
System
Refresh
• Add logical systems pairs to be converted during the BDLS
execution
12. Execution
for
System
Refresh
• When all tasks have been added and parameterized, move on
to the summary screen
14. Monitoring
the
Execution
• Basic monitoring of the standalone PCA execution can be done
via the “Monitoring” section in LVM
15. Monitoring
the
Execution
• Detailed monitoring on the progress of individual tasks within
the PCA task lists can be done in the ABAP back-‐end system
using transaction “STC02” in client 000
