The cost of fault tolerance in multi-party communication complexity
Multi-party communication complexity involves distributed computation of a function over inputs held by multiple distributed players. A key focus of distributed computing research...

Multiparty Computation from Somewhat Homomorphic Encryption
We propose a general multiparty computation protocol secure against an active adversary corrupting up to n−1 of the n players. The protocol may be used to compute securely arithm...

A simpler and better design of error estimating coding
—We study error estimating codes with the goal of establishing better bounds for the theoretical and empirical overhead of such schemes. We explore the idea of using sketch data ...

Locating malicious nodes for data aggregation in wireless networks
—Data aggregation, as a primitive communication task in wireless networks, can reduce the communication complexity. However, in-network aggregation usually brings an unavoidable ...

Near-Linear Unconditionally-Secure Multiparty Computation with a Dishonest Minority
Secure multiparty computation (MPC) allows a set of n players to compute any public function, given as an arithmetic circuit, on private inputs, so that privacy of the inputs as we...

Overcoming Adversaries in Sensor Networks: A Survey of Theoretical Models and Algorithmic Approaches for Tolerating Malicious In
Interference is an unavoidable property of the wireless communication medium and, in sensor networks, such interference is exacerbated due to the energy-starved nature of the netw...

Strategic sequential voting in multi-issue domains and multiple-election paradoxes
In many settings, a group of agents must come to a joint decision on multiple issues. In practice, this is often done by voting on the issues in sequence. In this paper, we model ...

Communication complexity and intrinsic universality in cellular automata
Let F be a cellular automaton (CA). This paper establishes necessary conditions for F in order to be intrinsically universal. The central idea is to consider the communication com...

Property Testing Lower Bounds via Communication Complexity
We develop a new technique for proving lower bounds in property testing, by showing a strong connection between testing and communication complexity. We give a simple scheme for r...

New strong direct product results in communication complexity
We show two new direct product results in two different models of communication complexity. Our first result is in the model of one-way public-coin model. Let f ⊆ X × Y × Z ...
