Batch secret sharing for secure multi-party computation in asynchronous network. (English) Zbl 1214.94067
Summary: This paper proposes an efficient batch secret sharing protocol among $$n$$ players resilient to $$t < n/4$$ players in an asynchronous network. The construction of our protocol is along the line of Hirt’s protocol which works in a synchronous model. Compared with the method of using secret share protocol $$m$$ times to share $$m$$ secrets, our protocol is quite efficient. The protocol can be used to improve the efficiency of secure multi-party computation (MPC) greatly in asynchronous network.
