Many advancements in the area of Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMC) protocols use improvements in communication complexity as a justification. We conducted an experimental study of a specific protocol for a real-world sized problem under realistic conditions and it suggests that the practical performance of the protocol is almost independent of the network performance. We argue that our result can be generalized to a whole class of SMC protocols.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
