We updated our paper on Fiat-Shamir!

We now take a closer look at the gap between what symmetric cryptography has focused on for over 10 years (indifferentiability) and what is actually needed for the soundness of ZKPs and SNARKs (something stronger!).

A Fiat–Shamir Transformation From Duplex Sponges
We analyze a variant of the Fiat–Shamir transformation based on an ideal permutation. The transformation relies on the popular duplex sponge paradigm, and minimizes the number of calls to the permutat...

Highly recommend Tom Gur (@tomgur.bsky.social)'s TCS+ talk on the Zero-Knowledge PCP theorem his coauthors and he obtained. Very clear introduction to ZK, to PCPs, and (as an aside) to the unexpected timeline of a research project.
