48 results for secure summation

In recent work, Cheu et al. (Eurocrypt 2019) proposed a protocol for nn-party real summation in the shuffle model of differential privacy with Oε,δ(1)O_{ε, δ}(1) error and Θ(εn)Θ(ε\sqrt{n}) one-bit messages per party. In contrast, every local model protocol for real summation must incur error Ω(1/n)Ω(1/\sqrt{n}), and there exist …
