Multiparty computation, commonly embedded in digital-asset custody, can support secure data sharing and collaboration across multiple industries and applications.

If there is one certainty about information security, it is that there are no silver bullets. Any set of solutions – from access controls to firewalls to data encryption – can be highly effective. Because there are no airtight guarantees, the defenses must be deployed in proportion to the perceived risks.

Now gaining prominence as part of the cybersecurity arsenal is secure multiparty computation, MPC for short. This is not only due to its proven strength, but also to its suitability for the collaborative networking and partnering on which businesses increasingly depend.

Rooted in encryption science – cryptologist and digital currency pioneer David Chaum coined the term – multiparty computation is defined in a Medium post as enabling “multiple parties to evaluate a computation without revealing any of their private data to computing parties.”

MPC is thus a component in decentralized finance (DeFi) and digital-asset custody.

Multi-Industry Appeal

MPC’s ability to protect data integrity in multiparty ecosystems, ensuring that individual participants have access only to what they own or need to know, has wide-ranging implications for...
