Cryptography 101: Multi-Party Computations
In this week's episode, Anna and Fredrik give a general introduction to MPCs, go over a few examples of MPCs in action, compare them with other cryptographic concepts, try to pronounce "fully homomorphic encryption" properly, and more! Here are some of the material that we reference: http://research.cs.wisc.edu/areas/sec/yao1982-ocr.pdf (Andrew Yao's paper on Protocols for Secure Computations) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/234778924_How_to_play_ANY_mental_game ("How to play ANY mental game" publication - MPCs first introduced Goldreich-Micali-Wigderson (GMW)) https://www.youtube.com/user/87bvd/videos (Very basic intro to Shamir Secret Sharing and MPCs Video Series from a Prof at Chalmers ) https://eprint.iacr.org/2008/068.pdf (First widely used MPC in Denmark) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRAN_w1_qmw (Multi-Party Computation: From Theory to Practice.
