Private Decision Tree Evaluation with Constant Rounds via (Only) SS-3PC over Ring and Field

抄録

Multiparty computation (MPC) is the technology that computes an arbitrary function represented as a circuit without revealing input values. Typical MPC uses secret sharing (SS) schemes, garbled circuit (GC), and homomorphic encryption (HE). These cryptographic technologies have a trade-off relationship for the computation cost, communication cost, and type of computable circuit. Hence, the optimal choice depends on the computing resources, communication environment, and function related to applications. The private decision tree evaluation (PDTE) is one of the important applications of secure computation. There exist several PDTE protocols with constant communication rounds using GC, HE, and SS-MPC over the field. However, to the best of our knowledge, PDTE protocols with constant communication rounds using MPC based on SS over the ring (requiring only lower computation costs and communication complexity) are non-trivial and still missing. In this paper, we propose a PDTE protocol based on a three-party computation (3PC) protocol over the ring with one corruption. We also propose another three-party PDTE protocol over the field with one corruption that is more efficient than the naive construction.
