What is Secure Multiparty Computation (MPC)?
Secure Multiparty Computation (MPC) is a cryptography strategy that enables organizations to analyze big data collaboratively without requiring them to reveal any private information.
Through MPC protocol, parties enter their data, which is then [...]split into separate pieces; the data pieces are stored separately across multiple servers that don’t know the identity of the original data contributor, ensuring that a hack to any one location can’t reveal any meaningful private information.
Learn how Boston University’s Hariri Institute for Computing is pioneering new applications and how it can solve complex problems in health care, policy, law, and business while respecting privacy concerns and limitations.
