Unfortunately, this protocol is not very convincing as the communication complexity of each instance of the protocol grows linearly with the number of repetitions, and for such protocols the error does not even decrease for some types of interactive proofs. Noticing this, Bellare et al. construct (a quite artificial) oracle relative to which a four round protocol exists whose communication complexity does not depend on the number of parallel repetitions. This shows that there is no “black-box” error reduction theorem for four round protocols.\nIn this paper we give the first computationally sound protocol where k-fold parallel repetition does not decrease the error probability below some constant for any polynomial k (and where the communication complexity does not depend on k). The protocol has eight rounds and uses the universal arguments of Barak and Goldreich (2001). We also give another four round protocol relative to an oracle, unlike the artificial oracle of Bellare et al., we just need a generic group. This group can then potentially be instantiated with some real group satisfying some well defined hardness assumptions (we do not know of any candidate for such a group at the moment)."}],"_id":"3222","doi":"10.1007/978-3-540-70936-7_5","author":[{"orcid":"0000-0002-9139-1654","first_name":"Krzysztof Z","full_name":"Krzysztof Pietrzak","id":"3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Pietrzak"},{"first_name":"Douglas","full_name":"Wikström, Douglas","last_name":"Wikström"}],"conference":{"name":"TCC: Theory of Cryptography Conference"},"quality_controlled":0,"alternative_title":["LNCS"],"title":"Parallel repetition of computationally sound protocols revisited","citation":{"apa":"Pietrzak, K.
