Secure Multi-Party Computation
SMPC
A cryptographic protocol that enables multiple parties to jointly compute a function over their inputs while keeping those inputs private from each other.
In Plain Language
A way for multiple companies to combine their data for AI analysis without anyone seeing anyone else's data. Like two companies figuring out if they share any customers without revealing their customer lists.
Why This Matters
SMPC enables organisations to collaborate on AI projects without sharing raw data, which is strategically valuable for joint ventures, industry partnerships and cross-border projects where data sovereignty is a concern.
