A Parallel Privacy-Preserving Shortest Path Protocol from a Path Algebra Problem
share
In this paper, we present a secure multiparty computation (SMC) protocol for single-source shortest distances (SSSD) in undirected graphs, where the location of edges is public, but their length is private. The protocol works in the Arithmetic Black Box (ABB) model on top of the separator tree of the graph, achieving good time complexity if the subgraphs of the graph have small separators (which is the case for e.g. planar graphs); the achievable parallelism is significantly higher than that of classical SSSD algorithms implemented on top of an ABB. We implement our protocol on top of the Sharemind MPC platform, and perform extensive benchmarking over different network environments. We compare our algorithm against the baseline picked from classical algorithms - privacy-preserving Bellman-Ford algorithm (with public edges).
