Multi-party computation (MPC) allows a set of parties, each with a private input, to securely and jointly perform any computation over their inputs.

Motivation for the definition of statistical distance
Statistical indistinguishability (i.e., negligible statistical distance) implies computational indistinguishability, but is typically easier to prove since it does not require a computational argument …

Simulation-based proofs - advice tape of reduction algorithm
Yes.
We work under the assumption that the protocol is not secure, which means that for infinitely many $n$, there is a pair of inputs $(x,y)$ on which the simulation fails (i.e., when the inputs are …

Suppose $A$ knows $a$ and $B$ knows $b$, is it possible to efficiently compute $g^{ab}$ with...
It's not possible because if $B$ knows $b$ and $g^{ab}$, then she can compute $\left(g^{ab}\right)^{b^{-1} \bmod N} = g^a$ (where $N$ is the order of $g$, which is normally prime so that $b^{-1} \bmod …

Definition of secure computation with more that two parties
It is not enough to be able to simulate the view of a single party, because corrupted parties may cooperate. As mentioned in the book, it may be easier to view all the corrupted parties as a single en …

Simulation based proofs, what am I missing?
Basically, what you are missing is that the real view for a given input pair must be indistinguishable from the simulated view for the same input pair.
Remember that, put simply, the requirement is t …

Concept Question for Secure Computation
As in the linked question, what you are missing is that the simulated view for a given input pair must be indistinguishable from the simulated view for the same input pair.
So if $A$'s input $s$ is $ …

Simulation based proofs: Simple examples
The simplest example I know of is actually for a pathological case. Namely, it is presented in Chapter 2 of the book of Hazay and Lindell as an example of a two-party MPC protocol which is secure agai …

The main differences between Sketch of Proof and Full proof
Why do most of papers in the well-known conferences provide only the proof sketch?
Space constraints, mostly (the paper has to fit in a certain number of pages). Often, the full proofs are given …
