Claim 19:
20. A client node for use in a system, wherein the system comprises a coordinator node and one or more other client nodes, wherein the client node comprises at least one computation node that can operate as a party to a multiparty computation, wherein the client node comprises a processor that:
receives at least part of a computation schedule from the coordinator node, the computation schedule indicating that the client node is to evaluate a function in the multiparty computation with at least one other client node;
receives an input for the function; and
uses at least one of the computation nodes to evaluate the function in the multiparty computation with the at least one other client node using the received input,
wherein the multiparty computation is permitted based on one or more of a number of requests received from a requesting node in a predetermined time period and an identity of one or more datasets that the multiparty computation is to be performed on.
