Resettably-Sound Zero-Knowledge and its Applications

This work introduces resettably-sound proofs and arguments, which are protocols that maintain their soundness even when the prover can reset the verifier to use the same random coins in repeated executions of the protocol. It shows that resettably-sound zero-knowledge arguments for NP exist if collision-free hashing functions exist, whereas resettably-sound zero-knowledge proofs are possible only for languages in P/poly.
