A Management Framework for Secure Multiparty Computation in Dynamic Environments
Secure multiparty computation (SMC) is a promising technology for
privacy-preserving collaborative computation. In the last years several
feasibility studies have shown its practical applicability in different fields.
However, it is recognized that administration and management overhead of SMC
solutions are still a problem. A vital next step is the incorporation of SMC in
the emerging fields of the Internet of Things and (smart) dynamic environments.
In these settings, the properties of these contexts make utilization of SMC
even more challenging since some of its vital premises regarding environmental
stability and preliminary configuration are not initially fulfilled. We bridge
this gap by providing FlexSMC, a management and orchestration framework for SMC
which supports the discovery of nodes, supports a trust establishment between
them and realizes robustness of SMC session by handling nodes failures and
communication interruptions. The practical evaluation of FlexSMC shows that it
enables the application of SMC in dynamic environments with reasonable
performance penalties and computation durations allowing soft real-time and
interactive use cases
