IEEE 2842:2021

New IEEE Standard - Active.
Data has become one of the most important assets in ICT area. Secure multi-party computation plays a very important role in balancing data usage and data protection. It could build trust and security in data collaboration and big data analysis related areas. A technical framework for secure multi-party computation is provided in this standard, including specifying the following: an overview of secure multi-party computation; a technical framework of secure multi-party computation; security levels of secure multi-party computation; and use cases based on secure multi-party computation.

This standard provides a technical framework for secure multi-party computation (MPC), including specifying the following:
- An overview of secure multi-party computation
- A technical framework of secure multi-party computation
- Security levels of secure multi-party computation
- Use cases based on secure multi-party computation
The purpose of this standard is to define the concepts of secure multi-party computation, providing the technical and standard basis to help stakeholders use secure multi-party computation to protect their sensitive data. It also lists some use cases for secure multi-party computation. MPC is a broad area that is still under active academic research, and this standard will only cover a fraction of
the area where it’s ready or close to deploy for industry stakeholders.
