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.

Verifiable private multi-party computation: Ranging and ranking

TL;DR: This work thoroughly analyze the attacks on existing privacy preserving multi-party computation approaches and design a series of protocols for dot product, ranging and ranking, which are proved to be privacy preserving and verifiable.

Universally Composable Two-Party and Multi-Party Secure Computation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider an asynchronous multi-party network with open communication and an adversary that can adaptively corrupt as many parties as it wishes, and show how to securely realize any two-party and multiparty functionality in a universally composable way, regardless of the number of corrupted participants.

Non-malleable secret sharing

TL;DR: The first result is the construction of a t-out-of-n non-malleable secret sharing scheme against an adversary who arbitrarily tampers each of the shares independently, which is unconditional and features statistical non-Malleability.

On 2-round secure multiparty computation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the round complexity of secure multiparty computation in the presence of an active (Byzantine) adversary, assuming the availability of secure point-to-point channels and a broadcast primitive.

Conclave: secure multi-party computation on big data

TL;DR: Conclave is a query compiler that accelerates relational analytics queries by transforming them into a combination of data-parallel, local cleartext processing and small MPC steps, and substantially outperforms SMCQL, the most similar existing system.

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.
