A study of secure multi-party statistical analysis

Static analysis is a widely used computation in real life, but the known methods usually require one to know the whole data set. Little work has been conducted to investigate how statistical analysis could be performed in multi-party cooperative environment, where the participants want to conduct statistical analysis on the joint data set, but each participant is concerned about the confidentiality of its own data. In this paper, we have developed protocols for conducting the statistical analysis in secure two-party cooperative environment and cryptography primitives.
