The round complexity of secure protocols
Open accessAbstract
In a network of n players, each player i having private input zi, we show how the players can collaboratively evaluate a function f(zl, ..., zn) in a way that does not compromise the privacy of the players' inputs, and yet requires only a constant number of rounds of interaction.The underlying model of computation is a complete network of private channels, with broadcast, and a majority of the players must behave honestly.Our solution assumes the existence of a one-way function.share bi to player i.For some parameter t, t < n/2, we require that no t players get information about b from their pieces; and yet, b is recoverable, and is known to be recoverable, given the cooperation of the n -t good players--even if the t bad players try to obstruct b's recovery, or try to alter the recovered value.The value b which a player has effectively "committed to" is independent of the values that honest players may concurrently be committing to.After the sharing stage, a computation stage follows, in which each player, given his own shares of xl, ..., x,~, computes his own share of f(zt,..., z,~).To accomplish this, the function f to be evaluated is represented by a

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
