Abstract

Secure Multi-Party Computation enables parties with private data to collaboratively compute a global function of their private data, without revealing that data. The increase in sensitive data on networked computers, along with improved ability to integrate and utilize that data, make the time ripe for practical secure multi-party computation. This paper surveys approaches to secure multi-party computation, and gives a method whereby an efficient protocol for two parties using an untrusted third party can be used to construct an efficient peer-to-peer secure multi-party protocol.
