The Price of Active Security in Cryptographic Protocols
Explore a comprehensive analysis of active security in cryptographic protocols through this 21-minute conference talk presented at Eurocrypt 2020. Delve into Secure Multiparty Computation (MPC) and its applications, examining the protocol blueprint and the complexity of active security. Investigate secure multiplication techniques, the state of the art in the field, and the main theorem presented. Learn about the MPC-in-the-Head IPS08 approach, the IPS Compiler, and Shamir Secret Sharing. Discover a new compiler with a warmup protocol, understanding its phases and communication complexity. Analyze the final protocol's communication complexity and the security of mult. Conclude by exploring open problems in the field of cryptographic protocols and active security.
