Infrastructures for secure multiparty computation

We study the problem of implementing an infrastructure for secure multiparty computation (MPC). The goal of our infrastructure is to enable reliable communication, secure computation and fair computation in a network. The desiderata for an infrastructure include reusability, transferability and fault-tolerance. It is not hard to see that the above criteria are fulfilled for infrastructures that we use in daily life, for e.g., the infrastructure for online communication (e-mail, instant messaging, etc.) consisting of transatlantic undersea cables, routers, wireless access points, etc. We consider which cryptographic primitives would be good building blocks for a secure computation infrastructure. The first, reliable communication. We study the problem of almost-everywhere reliable message transmission.
