This paper shows how to authenticate the classic Aho-Corasick multi-pattern matching automation, without requiring the verifier to store the whole pattern set, nor downloading a proof for every single matching step. The storage complexity for the authentication metadata at the server side is the same as that of the unauthenticated v… Show more
