Title:
Multiparty Computation from Threshold Homomorphic Encryption

Authors: Ronald Cramer, Ivan Damgård, Jesper Buus Nielsen

Abstract:

We introduce a new approach to multiparty computation (MPC)
basing it on homomorphic
threshold crypto-systems. We show that given keys for any
sufficiently efficient
system of this type, general MPC protocols for n players can be
devised which are
secure against an active adversary that corrupts any minority of the
players.
The total number of bits sent is O(nk|C|), where k is the
security parameter and |C| is
the size of a (Boolean) circuit computing the function to be
securely evaluated.
An earlier proposal by Franklin and Haber with the same complexity
was only secure
for passive adversaries, while all earlier protocols with active
security had complexity at
least quadratic in n. We give two examples of threshold
cryptosystems that can support our
construction and lead to the claimed complexities.
