Abstract

We show that if a language L has a 4-round, black-box, computational zero-knowledge proof system with negligible soundness error, then $\bar{L}\in \mathsf{MA}$ . Assuming the polynomial hierarchy does not collapse, this means in particular that NP-complete languages do not have 4-round zero-knowledge proofs with black-box simulation.
