Title:
Privacy-Preserving Minimum Spanning Trees through Oblivious Parallel RAM for Secure Multiparty Computation

Authors: Peeter Laud

Abstract:

In this paper, we describe efficient protocols to perform in parallel many reads and writes in private arrays according to private indices. The protocol is implemented on top of the Arithmetic Black Box (ABB) and can be freely composed to build larger privacy-preserving applications. For a large class of secure multiparty computation (SMC) protocols, we believe our technique to have better practical and asymptotic performance than any previous ORAM technique that has been adapted for use in SMC. Our ORAM technique opens up a large class of parallel algorithms for adoption to run on SMC platforms. In this paper, we demonstrate how the minimum spanning tree (MST) finding algorithm by Awerbuch and Shiloach can be executed without revealing any details about the underlying graph (beside its size). The data accesses of this algorithm heavily depend on the location and weight of edges (which are private) and our ORAM technique is instrumental in their execution. Our implementation is probably the first-ever realization of a privacy-preserving MST algorithm.
