Researchers have introduced Tempora-Fusion, a novel homomorphic time-lock puzzle (TLP) scheme that allows for efficient public verification of both individual puzzle solutions and their homomorphic linear combinations. This system enables clients to generate puzzles independently and later authorize a linear combination with a specific release time, with any party able to verify the result without needing a trusted setup or complex asymmetric-key proof systems. The construction maps independently generated RSA-based puzzles into a common finite field, utilizes oblivious linear evaluation to refresh blinding factors, and embeds a hidden verification structure by encoding messages as polynomials. A prototype implementation demonstrates that verifying an evaluated result takes less than 3 milliseconds. AI
