Secure Sorting and Selection via Function Secret Sharing

Amit Agarwal, Elette Boyle, Nishanth Chandran +5 more

We revisit the problem of concretely efficient secure computation of sorting and selection (e.g., maximum, median, or top-k) on secret-shared data, focusing on the case of security against a single semi-honest party. Previous solutions either have a high communication overhead or many rounds of interaction, even when allowing input-independent preprocessing.

Accelerating Secure (2+1)-Party Computation by Insecure but Efficient Building Blocks

Keitaro Hiwatashi, Ken Ogura, Satsuya Ohata +1 more

Secure multi-party computation (MPC) is a cryptographic tool that enables a set of parties to compute a function jointly while keeping each input secret. Since MPC based on secret sharing (SS) achieves high throughput and works fast, many applications have been developed. However, SS-based MPC requires many communication rounds in general, and this becomes a performance bottleneck in real-world applications under high-latency networks. In this paper, we propose SS-based secure three-party computation with almost no preprocessing based on our new (small-)constant-round fundamental gates, by revisiting a framework in a few previous works where a number of parties are assisted by another party who may partially learn secret information. Instead of ordinary logical gates, our fundamental gate is an efficient Equality, for which the result leaks to the third party, and we develop novel two-round constructions of secure building-block protocols (LessThan Comparison, RightShift, Table LookUp, etc.) from the insecure Equality. To show the practicality of our protocols, we implement a secure exact edit distance protocol for two genome strings. Our experiments show that in some network setting our protocol is about 2 times faster (14 times faster taking preprocessing into consideration) than the state-of-the-art SS-based protocol (Ohata and Nuida, FC 2020).

SHARK: Actively Secure Inference Using Function Secret Sharing

Kanav Gupta, Nishanth Chandran, Divya Gupta +2 more

We consider the problem of actively secure two-party machine-learning inference in the preprocessing model, where the parties obtain (input-independent) correlated randomness in an offline phase that they can then use to run an efficient protocol in the (input-dependent) online phase. In this setting, the state-of-the-art is the work of Escudero et al. (Crypto 2020); unfortunately, that protocol requires a large amount of correlated randomness, extensive communication, and many rounds of interaction, which leads to poor performance. In this work, we show protocols for this setting based on function secret sharing (FSS) that beat the state-of-the-art in all parameters: they use less correlated randomness and fewer rounds, and require lower communication and computation. We achieve this in part by allowing for a mix of boolean and arithmetic values in FSS-based protocols (something not done in prior work), as well as by relying on “interactive FSS;’ a generalization of FSS we introduce. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach we build SHARK-the first FSS-based system for actively secure inference-which outperforms the state-of-the-art by up to 2300×.
