Secure Multiparty Computation
Secure multiparty computation (MPC) enables collaborative computation on sensitive data held by multiple parties without revealing individual inputs. Current research heavily focuses on applying MPC to machine learning, particularly deep learning and federated learning, often incorporating techniques like differential privacy and quantization to enhance security and mitigate vulnerabilities like poisoning attacks and inference attacks. This field is crucial for addressing privacy concerns in data-driven applications, enabling collaborative model training and analysis across distributed datasets while maintaining confidentiality and data integrity. The resulting advancements are impacting various sectors, including healthcare, finance, and other areas where sensitive data is involved.
