ABSTRACT

We propose a new protocol, nicknamed TinyTable, for maliciously secure 2-party computation in the preprocessing model. One version of the protocol is useful in practice and allows, for instance, secure AES encryption with latency about 1 ms and amortized time about 0.5 microseconds per AES block on a fast cloud set-up. Another version is interesting from a theoretical point of view: we achieve a maliciously and unconditionally secure 2-party protocol in the preprocessing model for computing a Boolean circuit, where the communication complexity is $O(s)$ where $s$ is the circuit size, while the computational complexity is $O(k^{\epsilon} s)$ where $k$ is the statistical security parameter and $\epsilon<1$ is a constant. For general circuits with no assumption on their structure, this is the best asymptotic performance achieved so far in this model. In the talk, I will introduce secure computation and then sketch the protocol as well as an application. The talk therefore assumes little or no prior knowledge of cryptography.
