We propose a secure computation solution for blockchain networks. The
correctness of computation is verifiable even under malicious majority
condition using information-theoretic Message Authentication Code (MAC), and
the privacy is preserved using Secret-Sharing. With state-of-the-art multiparty
computation protocol and a layer2 solution, our privacy-preserving computation
guarantees data security on blockchain, cryptographically, while reducing the
heavy-lifting computation job to a few nodes. This breakthrough has several
implications on the future of decentralized networks. First, secure computation
can be used to support Private Smart Contracts, where consensus is reached
without exposing the information in the public contract. Second, it enables
data to be shared and used in trustless network, without disclosing the raw
data during data-at-use, where data ownership and data usage is safely
separated. Last but not least, computation and verification processes are
separated, which can be perceived as computational sharding, this effectively
makes the transaction processing speed linear to the number of participating
nodes. Our objective is to deploy our secure computation network as an layer2
solution to any blockchain system. Smart Contracts\cite{smartcontract} will be
used as bridge to link the blockchain and computation networks. Additionally,
they will be used as verifier to ensure that outsourced computation is
completed correctly. In order to achieve this, we first develop a general MPC
network with advanced features, such as: 1) Secure Computation, 2) Off-chain
Computation, 3) Verifiable Computation, and 4)Support dApps' needs like
privacy-preserving data exchange
Leveraging Secure Multiparty Computation in the Internet of Things
Centralized systems in the Internet of Things---be it local middleware or
cloud-based services---fail to fundamentally address privacy of the collected
data. We propose an architecture featuring secure multiparty computation at its
core in order to realize data processing systems which already incorporate
support for privacy protection in the architecture
An Effective Private Data storage and Retrieval System using Secret sharing scheme based on Secure Multi-party Computation
Privacy of the outsourced data is one of the major challenge.Insecurity of
the network environment and untrustworthiness of the service providers are
obstacles of making the database as a service.Collection and storage of
personally identifiable information is a major privacy concern.On-line public
databases and resources pose a significant risk to user privacy, since a
malicious database owner may monitor user queries and infer useful information
about the customer.The challenge in data privacy is to share data with
third-party and at the same time securing the valuable information from
unauthorized access and use by third party.A Private Information Retrieval(PIR)
scheme allows a user to query database while hiding the identity of the data
retrieved.The naive solution for confidentiality is to encrypt data before
outsourcing.Query execution,key management and statistical inference are major
challenges in this case.The proposed system suggests a mechanism for secure
storage and retrieval of private data using the secret sharing technique.The
idea is to develop a mechanism to store private information with a highly
available storage provider which could be accessed from anywhere using queries
while hiding the actual data values from the storage provider.The private
information retrieval system is implemented using Secure Multi-party
Computation(SMC) technique which is based on secret sharing. Multi-party
Computation enable parties to compute some joint function over their private
inputs.The query results are obtained by performing a secure computation on the
shares owned by the different servers.Comment: Data Science & Engineering (ICDSE), 2014 International Conference,
