We present an adaptive and non-interactive protocol for verifying arbitrary efficient computations in fixed polynomial time. Our protocol is computationally sound and can be based on any computational PIR scheme, which in turn can be based on standard polynomial-time cryptographic assumptions (e.g. the worst case hardness of polynomial-factor approximation of short-vector lattice problems). In our protocol, the verifier sets up a public key ahead of time, and this key can be used by any prover to prove arbitrary statements by simpling sending a proof to the verifier. Verification is done using a secret verification key, and soundness relies on this key not being known to the prover. Our protocol further allows to prove statements about computations of arbitrary RAM machines. Previous works either relied on knowledge assumptions, or could only offer non-adaptive two-message protocols (where the first message could not be re-used), and required either obfuscation-based assumptions or super-polynomial hardness assumptions. We show that our techniques can also be applied to construct a new type of (non-adaptive) 2-message argument for batch NP-statements. Specifically, we can simultaneously prove (with computational soundness) the membership of multiple instances in a given NP language, with communication complexity proportional to the length of a single witness.
