Episode 60: Cryptography 101: Multi-Party Computations

Zero Knowledge

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:

• Andrew Yao's paper on Protocols for Secure Computations
• "How to play ANY mental game" publication - MPCs first introduced Goldreich-Micali-Wigderson (GMW)
• Very basic intro to Shamir Secret Sharing and MPCs Video Series from a Prof at Chalmers
• First widely used MPC in Denmark
• Multi-Party Computation: From Theory to Practice. Nigel P. Smart speaking at Google
• Rob Habermeier's Shamir Secret Sharing library
• A course by Zvika Brakerski on Fully Homomorphic Encryption
