Description
Summary:An aggregatable subvector commitment scheme extends a vector commitment scheme by enabling the aggregation of multiple proofs into a single compact subvector proof. However, the existing schemes have to recompute proofs for each position when inserting an element into the vector, incurring significant computational overhead. In this paper, we propose a novel aggregatable subvector commitment scheme based on Newton interpolation, which efficiently supports the addition of new elements. Specifically, the proposed scheme allows incremental updates to the commitment and proofs for each position, avoiding the requirement for full recomputation and thereby significantly reducing computational overhead. Additionally, we employ the Karatsuba algorithm to efficiently perform large-integer multiplication, which improves the aggregation and verification of proofs. Finally, we implement the proposed scheme and conduct a detailed comparison with aSVC. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves a 48× speedup when adding an element to a 16-length vector, as well as 2.13× and 1.73× speedups for aggregating eight proofs and performing verification, respectively.
