About this paper

Shizhao Peng, Shoumo Li, Tianle Tao

EVA-S2PMLP is a secure two-party computation framework designed for Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) training and inference with vertically-partitioned data, achieving near-plaintext accuracy and significantly reduced runtime, especially in high-latency WAN environments. The framework operates in the real-number domain, enabling exact implementations of non-linear activation functions and integrating lightweight verification mechanisms for computational integrity.

Key insights

  • Secure computation performed in the real-number domain enables exact implementations of non-linear functions like ReLU and Softmax, thereby preserving model accuracy.
  • Minimizing communication rounds, rather than just total volume, is critical for achieving high performance and scalability in high-latency WAN environments.
  • Integrating lightweight verification mechanisms directly into secure protocols provides strong integrity guarantees without incurring substantial performance overhead.
