Call for Contributed Talks

TPMPC solicits contributed talks in the area of the theory and/or practice of secure multiparty computation. Talks can include papers published recently in top conferences, or work yet to be published. Areas of interest include

• Theoretical foundations of multiparty computation: feasibility, assumptions, asymptotic efficiency, etc.
• Efficient MPC protocols for general or specific tasks of interest
• Implementations and applications of MPC

The TPMPC steering committee will select talks with the aim of constructing a balanced program that will be of interest to the audience.

• Contributed talks will be 20-30 minutes.
• The deadline for contributed talks will be on February 18th 25th.
• Please submit a short abstract (up to five pages, but preferably just one) of your proposed talk via the submission system:
