Verifiable secret sharing and multiparty protocols with honest majority

TLDR
In this paper, the authors present a verifiable secret sharing protocol for games with incomplete information and show that the secrecy achieved is unconditional and does not rely on any assumption about computational intractability.
Abstract
Under the assumption that each participant can broadcast a message to all other participants and that each pair of participants can communicate secretly, we present a verifiable secret sharing protocol, and show that any multiparty protocol, or game with incomplete information, can be achieved if a majority of the players are honest. The secrecy achieved is unconditional and does not rely on any assumption about computational intractability. Applications of these results to Byzantine Agreement are also presented.Underlying our results is a new tool of Information Checking which provides authentication without cryptographic assumptions and may have wide applications elsewhere.

Leakage of Dataset Properties in Multi-Party Machine Learning

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that a "curious" party can infer the distribution of sensitive attributes in other parties' data with high accuracy, even when parties obtain only black-box access to the final model.

Unmediated communication with partially verifiable types

TL;DR: It is shown that with five or more players, all outcomes that are feasible with the help of a mediator can also be achieved with direct communication between players if verifiable information can be encrypted.

Brief announcement: synchronous Las Vegas URMT iff asynchronous Monte Carlo URMT

TL;DR: In the unconditionally reliable message transmission (URMT) problem, two non-faulty nodes, the sender S and the receiver R are part of a communication network modelled as a digraph over a set of nodes influenced by an unbounded active adversary that may corrupt some subset of these nodes.

How to share a secret

TL;DR: This technique enables the construction of robust key management schemes for cryptographic systems that can function securely and reliably even when misfortunes destroy half the pieces and security breaches expose all but one of the remaining pieces.

How to play ANY mental game

TL;DR: This work presents a polynomial-time algorithm that, given as a input the description of a game with incomplete information and any number of players, produces a protocol for playing the game that leaks no partial information, provided the majority of the players is honest.

Completeness theorems for non-cryptographic fault-tolerant distributed computation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that every function of n inputs can be efficiently computed by a complete network of n processors in such a way that if no faults occur, no set of size t can be found.

Multiparty unconditionally secure protocols

TL;DR: It is shown that any reasonable multiparty protocol can be achieved if at least 2n/3 of the participants are honest and the secrecy achieved is unconditional.
