1. Introduction to MPC Fundamentals

What is Secure Multi-Party Computation?

MPC allows n parties with private inputs x₁, x₂, …, xₙ to compute a function f(x₁, x₂, …, xₙ) without revealing their individual inputs. Key properties:

Privacy: No party learns more than the output
Correctness: Output is correctly computed
Independence of Inputs: Parties choose inputs independently
Fairness/Delivery: All parties receive output or none do

Use Cases

Private Auctions: Bid without revealing bids
Privacy-Preserving Analytics: Compute statistics on private data
Federated Learning: Train ML models on distributed data
Private Set Intersection: Find common elements without revealing sets
Secure Voting: Tally votes without revealing individual votes
