Efficient Secure Two-Party Protocols

Part of the book series: Information Security and Cryptography ((ISC))

Abstract

The focus of this book is on constructing efficientsecure protocols for the two-party setting. In this introduction, we begin with a general high-level survey of secure multiparty computation. This places the topic of this book in its larger context. Following this, we describe the basic results and techniques related to efficiency in secure computation. Finally, we conclude with a roadmap to the book.
