Single Secret Leader Election (SSLE), proposed by Boneh et al., supports electing a single random leader from a group of nodes while the leader’s identity remains secret until he reveals himself. Subsequent research endeavors have introduced distinct approaches to realize SSLE, yet most of these solutions consume relatively high communication comp...

Polynomial commitment schemes (PCS) are fundamental components that can effectively solve the problems arising from the combination of IoT and blockchain. These allow a committer to commit to a polynomial and then later evaluate the committed polynomial at an arbitrary challenge point along with a proof of valid, without revealing any additional information about the polynomial. Recent works have presented polynomial commitment schemes based on the discrete logarithm assumption. Their schemes do...
