'''Secure multi-party computation''' (also known as '''secure computation''', '''multi-party computation''' ('''MPC''') or '''privacy-preserving computation''') is a subfield of [[cryptography]] with the goal of creating methods for parties to jointly compute a function over their inputs while keeping those inputs private. Unlike traditional cryptographic tasks, where cryptography assures security and integrity of communication or storage and the [[Adversary (cryptography)|adversary]] is outside the system of participants (an eavesdropper on the sender and receiver), the cryptography in this model protects participants' [[privacy]] from each other.
