Secure multi-party computation is a cryptographic technology for running a computation on the confidential inputs of two or more parties so that nobody learns the inputs of others. To simplify, it is a kind of a distributed computer that can process data without seeing it. This has applications in protecting sensitive data such as cryptographic keys, personal data or business secrets. The benefit of the technology is greatest when multiple organisation wish to collaborate, but find themselves unable to share the data.
MPC Alliance (https://www.mpcalliance.org) is an industry union of companies building key management solutions, virtual HSMs, privacy-preserving statistics, ML and AI systems for finance, healthcare and public sector. In the talk, we'll talk of the technology, its applications in security and privacy, with example use cases.
