Protocols for secure two-party computation enable a pair of mistrusting parties to compute a joint function of their private inputs without revealing anything but the output. One of the fundamental techniques for obtaining secure computation is that of Yao’s garbled circuits. In the setting of malicious adversaries, where the corrupted party can follow any arbitrary (polynomial-time) strategy in an attempt to breach security, the cut-and-choose technique is used to ensure that the garbled circuit is constructed correctly. The cost of this technique is the construction and transmission of multiple circuits; specifically, s garbled circuits are used in order to obtain a maximum cheating probability of 2−s. In this paper, we show how to reduce the amortized cost of cut-and-choose based secure two-party computation to O s logN garbled circuits when N secure computations are run. We use this method to construct a secure protocol in the batch setting. Next, we show how the cut-
