Secure Multi-Party Computation in Java: Complete Implementation Guide

Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC) allows multiple parties to jointly compute a function over their inputs while keeping those inputs private. This guide provides comprehensive MPC implementations in Java.

Core MPC Concepts

Privacy: No party learns anything about others' inputs
Correctness: Output is computed correctly
Security: Protocols remain secure even if some parties are malicious
