Learn about the latest progress in the field of Multi-Party Computation (MPC), including garbled circuits, secret sharing, fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), and the combination of MPC and zero-knowledge (ZK). Explore real-world applications and use cases for MPC, such as distributed key generation (DKG) and threshold signature schemes.
In this week’s episode, Anna Rose is joined by Nigel Smart, Professor at KU Leuven and Chief Academic Officer at Zama to discuss the advancements in MPC over recent years. Nigel unpacks core components of MPC systems, including garbled circuits, secret sharing, and FHE. They discuss both systems-level applications like DKGs and Threshold Signature Schemes and actual real-world deployments. Throughout the episode, they also discuss how MPC and ZK differ, but how they can be used together to enhance each other's capabilities.
