Consider a set of $n$ players, each holding a value $x_1,...,x_n$, and an $n$-ary function $f$, specified as an arithmetic circuit over a finite field. How can the players compute $y=f(x_1,...,x_n)$ in such a way that no (small enough) set of dishonest players obtains any joint information about the input values of the honest players (beyond of what they can infer from $y$)? In this talk, we present a protocol that allows the players to compute an arbitrary function $f$, such that any subset of up to $t< n/2$ dishonest players do not obtain any information about the other players' inputs.<br/> Finally, we briefly sketch an extension of the protocol, which guarantees the correctness of the outcome even when the dishonest players misbehave in arbitrary manner.

    BEANIE is a tweakable block cipher recently published at ToSC aiming for memory encryption of microcontroller units. In line with this goal, it handles small plaintexts of only 32 bits and has a low latency. In this paper, we propose the first third-party analysis of the two variants of BEANIE. By carefully leveraging structural properties of the cipher and taking advantage of its distinctive[…]
