Abstract

This talk will describe recent work on the design and implementation of practical secure Multiparty Computation (MPC) protocols. We will focus on a recent initiative funded by the Laura and John Arnold Foundation to develop an open-source MPC framework that would allow researchers to compute statistics across multiple, private data sets. This is a joint-effort between cryptographers, statisticians, social-scientists, policy-makers and data-owners, and this talk will outline some of the design decisions and use cases that have arisen from this collaboration.
