Let $A_1$ and $A_2$ two $m \times n$ matrices defining SIS problems.
Does there exist a zero knowledge proof that two short solutions are the same, i.e. $$y_1 = A_1 x $$ $$y_2= A_2 x $$ $$ \Vert x \Vert < \beta$$

    $\begingroup$ Do you know that ZK proofs exist for every NP problem? Or are you looking for practical ones? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @SEJPM I don't think that this is the question. A single party holds both matrices and wants to prove to someone else that they have the same solution. $\endgroup$ Jul 4, 2016 at 4:14

This paper Improved Zero-Knowledge Proofs of Knowledge for the ISIS Problem, and Applications is a good place to start researching. The paper appeared at PKC 2013 so have been peer-reviewed. In addition, there is an upcoming paper at CRYPTO 2016 which looks very related How to prove knowledge of small secrets.
