{wiki=Secure_multi-party_computation}
Secure multi-party computation (SMPC) is a subfield of cryptography that enables a group of parties to jointly compute a function over their inputs while keeping those inputs private. In essence, it allows multiple participants to collaboratively compute a result without revealing their individual inputs to one another. \#\#\# Key Concepts: 1. **Privacy**: Each participant's input remains confidential, meaning that no participant learns anything about the other participants' inputs beyond what can be inferred from the output of the computation.
