Secure Computation on the Web- Computing without Simultaneous Interaction

Explore a conference talk from Crypto 2011 that delves into secure computation on the web, focusing on computing without simultaneous interaction. Learn about the challenges of implementing secure computation in web scenarios where clients independently connect to servers. Discover the limitations of this model and the proposed definitions to capture achievable outcomes. Examine a general feasibility result and practical protocols for various functions of interest, based on standard assumptions and applicable to both semi-honest and malicious adversary models. Gain insights from speakers Shai Halevi, Yehuda Lindell, and Benny Pinkas as they present their research from IBM Research and Bar-Ilan University on enabling mutually suspicious parties to compute joint functions of private inputs while maintaining strong security guarantees.
