Title:
Information Theoretically Secure Multi Party Set Intersection Re-Visited

Authors: Arpita Patra, Ashish Choudhary, C. Pandu Rangan

Abstract:

We re-visit the problem of secure multiparty set intersection in information theoretic settings. In \cite{LiSetMPCACNS07}, Li et.al have proposed a protocol for multiparty set intersection problem with n parties, that provides information theoretic security, when t < \frac{n}{3} parties are corrupted by an active adversary having {\it unbounded computing power}. In \cite{LiSetMPCACNS07}, the authors claimed that their protocol takes six rounds of communication and communicates {\cal O}(n^4m^2) field elements, where each party has a set containing m field elements. However, we show that the round and communication complexity of the protocol in \cite{LiSetMPCACNS07} is much more than what is claimed in \cite{LiSetMPCACNS07}. We then propose a {\it novel} information theoretically secure protocol for multiparty set intersection with n > 3t, which significantly improves the “actual” round and communication complexity (as shown in this paper) of the protocol given in \cite{LiSetMPCACNS07}. To design our protocol, we use several tools which are of independent interest.
