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).

SDDC (IaaS + PaaS) seems to be the logical next steps
• But: its not just another name for automated Virtualization
• Disruptive change in IT delivery
• “Top-down” innovation (requested by the business)
• “Cloud” is not primarily focussed on cost reduction, it’s about agility
9. 9
SDDC Thoughts: Business & Internal IT
Multiple companies face the same business challenges today
• Growth in the past few years
• Looking for new markets and ways to expand business
• New/more rapid customer interaction (Android/iOS Apps)
• Benefits of “Cloud” are expected from internal IT
Internal IT
• Acts often as Internal service provider
• Challenging to react to business needs
• Must maintain various security and
compliance standards
• Needs to keep up with growing
service requests
