In this paper, we propose a privacy preserving distributed
clustering protocol for horizontally partitioned data based on a very efficient
homomorphic additive secret sharing scheme. The model we use
for the protocol is novel in the sense that it utilizes two non-colluding
third parties. We provide a brief security analysis of our protocol from
information theoretic point of view, which is a stronger security model.
We show communication and computation complexity analysis of our
protocol along with another protocol previously proposed for the same
problem. We also include experimental results for computation and communication
overhead of these two protocols. Our protocol not only outperforms
the others in execution time and communication overhead on
data holders, but also uses a more efficient model for many data mining
applications
