Secure multi-party computation (sMPC) is a cryptographic technique that allows multiple parties to jointly compute a function over their inputs while keeping those inputs private. In simpler terms, sMPC enables a group of people to work together to get a result from their combined data without anyone having to share their individual data with each other. For example, sMPC can be used to calculate the average salary of a group of employees without any one employee knowing anyone else\’s salary. This ensures data privacy and security, making it ideal for situations where confidentiality is crucial.
