Title:
Efficient Constant Round Multi-Party Computation Combining BMR and SPDZ

Authors: Yehuda Lindell, Benny Pinkas, Nigel P. Smart, Avishay Yanai

Abstract:

Recently, there has been huge progress in the field of concretely efficient secure computation, even while providing security in the presence of \emph{malicious adversaries}. This is especially the case in the two-party setting, where constant-round protocols exist that remain fast even over slow networks. However, in the multi-party setting, all concretely efficient fully-secure protocols, such as SPDZ, require many rounds of communication. In this paper, we present an MPC protocol that is fully-secure in the presence of malicious adversaries and for any number of corrupted parties. Our construction is based on the constant-round BMR protocol of Beaver et al., and is the first version of that protocol that is \emph{concretely} efficient for the dishonest majority case. Our protocol includes an online phase that is extremely fast and mainly consists of each party locally evaluating a garbled circuit. For the offline phase we present both a generic construction (using any underlying MPC protocol), and a highly efficient instantiation based on the SPDZ protocol. Our estimates show the protocol to be considerably more efficient than previous fully-secure multi-party protocols.
