Resources on pairing based cryptography and MPC

In this post is to aggregate all the resources I used to learn about MPC and pairing based cryptography.

MPC

1. SPDZ paper

   Damgård, Ivan, Valerio Pastro, Nigel Smart, and Sarah Zakarias. “Multiparty computation from somewhat homomorphic encryption.” In Annual Cryptology Conference, pp. 643-662. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2012. https://eprint.iacr.org/2011/535

2. Extending SPDZ to eupport elliptic curve operations.

   Smart, Nigel P., and Younes Talibi Alaoui. “Distributing any elliptic curve based protocol.” In IMA International Conference on Cryptography and Coding, pp. 342-366. Springer, Cham, 2019. https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/768

3. Also extends SPDZ for EC and secures DNSSEC

   Dalskov, Anders, Claudio Orlandi, Marcel Keller, Kris Shrishak, and Haya Shulman. “Securing DNSSEC keys via threshold ECDSA from generic MPC.” In European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, pp. 654-673. Springer, Cham, 2020. Paper: https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/889 Implementation: https://github.com/data61/MP-SPDZ/tree/master/ECDSA
