Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMPC)
Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMPC) belongs to the realm of cryptography, enabling distributed systems to perform computations across multiple parties while safeguarding sensitive data from other participants in the network. Within SMPC, nodes in a network collaborate to jointly compute a function, ensuring that their inputs remain private from other nodes. This process represents one of several methods in distributed computing that upholds privacy and security within a blockchain environment.
