Protocols for Secure Computations
Protocols for Secure Computations
Andrew C. Yao — Published November 1982
In Protocols for Secure Computations, Yao was the first to introduce the idea of secure multi-party computation (MPC).
MPC enables a number of independent parties with private data to operate on the aggregation of their private data, and receive the result — without the parties learning each others’ private data.
For a deeper dive into MPC, see A Pragmatic Introduction to Secure Multi-Party Computation.
