Title: Secure Non-interactive Simulation
Abstract: Motivated by applications in secure computation, we introduce secure non-interactive simulation (SNIS). SNIS is the cryptographic extension of non-interactive simulation in information theory. SNIS allows parties to non-interactively and securely transform their samples from a source of correlated private randomness into samples of a different target correlation.
This talk lays the theoretical foundations for SNIS research and, in this context, discusses tight feasibility, rate, and capacity results for some fundamental correlations.
