M. K. Franklin and M. Yung. The varieties of secure distributed computation . This is a pre print of a paper to appear in proceedings of the 9th Computer Security Foundations Workshop, Ireland, June, 1996. The varieties of secure distributed computation . Nevertheless they want to compute some agreed function of their inputs in a secure way.
Security here means maintaining correctness of the output while keeping the players inputs private.
There exists a rich literature on the subject. These approaches can be classified according to a number of criteria that are briefly discussed below. The varieties of secure distributed computation . If the techniques developed in this research are to be realized in practice, support for them must be explored. Each of these is a protocol by which a process can multicast a message to a group of processes.
