Secure two-party computation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Secure two-party computation (2PC) is sub-problem of secure multi-party computation (MPC) that has received special attention by researchers because of its close relation to many cryptographic tasks. It is concerned with the question: 'Can two party computation be achieved more efficiently and under weaker security assumptions than general MPC?'
Yao's protocol for two-party computation [1] only provided security security against passive adversaries. 2PC protocols that are secure against active adversaries were proposed by Lindell and Pinkas [2].
Another solution for this problem, that explicitly works with committed input was proposed by Jarecki and Shmatikov [3].
