(1/10) KZG Commitment Scheme: Further Reading
Want to dig deeper on elliptic curve cryptography, elliptic curve pairings and all of the other components of the Kate Polynomial Commitment Scheme?
These are the resources that I used to go from 0 to 60.
(2/10) @dankrad's blog post of KZG commitments
dankradfeist.de
(3/10) A great ELI 15 blog post on Kate (KZG) commitments by @tomwaltonpocock

(4/10) This was the workshop where @dankrad walked everyone through KZG commitment, preparing the core devs for danksharding.

(5/10) Very good lecture from @danboneh on the very basics of elliptic curve pairings.
Boneh is the "B" from the "BLS" signatures.

(6/10) Two great videos on polynomial commitment schemes and the Kate scheme specifically. Part of a longer series on PLONK (a ZK-protocol) by @cryptodavidw.

(7/10) @VitalikButerin did a deep dive on elliptic curve pairings

(8/10) @bkiepuszewski did a really good thread summarizing Dankrad's post on KZG commitments
(9/10) A good summary of factoring and its critical role in cryptography.
From Ben Lynn's personal website - Lynn is the "L" from the "BLS" signatures.

(10/10) And, of course, the original KZG paper!
