Network Agnostic Perfectly Secure MPC Against General Adversaries

Authors: Ananya Appan, Anirudh Chandramouli, and Ashish Choudhury

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 281, 37th International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2023)


Abstract
In this work, we study perfectly-secure multi-party computation (MPC) against general (non-threshold) adversaries. Known protocols are secure against 𝒬^{(3)} and 𝒬^{(4)} adversary structures in a synchronous and an asynchronous network respectively. We address the existence of a single protocol which remains secure against 𝒬^{(3)} and 𝒬^{(4)} adversary structures in a synchronous and in an asynchronous network respectively, where the parties are unaware of the network type. We design the first such protocol against general adversaries. Our result generalizes the result of Appan, Chandramouli and Choudhury (PODC 2022), which presents such a protocol against threshold adversaries.

Brief Announcement
Brief Announcement: Optimally-Resilient Unconditionally-Secure Asynchronous Multi-Party Computation Revisited

Authors: Ashish Choudhury

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 179, 34th International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2020)


Abstract
In this paper, we present an optimally-resilient, unconditionally-secure asynchronous multi-party computation (AMPC) protocol for n parties, tolerating a computationally unbounded adversary, capable of corrupting up to t < n/3 parties. Our protocol needs a communication of 𝒪(n⁴) field elements per multiplication gate. This is to be compared with previous best AMPC protocol (Patra et al, ICITS 2009) in the same setting, which needs a communication of 𝒪(n⁵) field elements per multiplication gate. To design our protocol, we present a simple and highly efficient asynchronous verifiable secret-sharing (AVSS) protocol, which is of independent interest.

Brief Announcement
Brief Announcement: Crash-Tolerant Consensus in Directed Graph Revisited

Authors: Ashish Choudhury, Gayathri Garimella, Arpita Patra, Divya Ravi, and Pratik Sarkar

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 91, 31st International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2017)


Abstract
We revisit the problem of distributed consensus in directed graphs tolerating crash failures; we improve the round and communication complexity of the existing protocols. Moreover, we prove that our protocol requires the optimal number of communication rounds, required by any protocol belonging to a specific class of crash-tolerant consensus protocols in directed graphs.
