FBPCP (Facebook Private Computation Platform)
Secure multi-party computation (also known as secure computation, multi-party computation (MPC), or privacy-preserving computation) is a subfield of cryptography with the goal of creating methods for parties to jointly compute a function over their inputs while keeping those inputs private.
FBPCP (Facebook Private Computation Platform) is a secure, privacy safe and scalable architecture to deploy MPC (Multi Party Computation) applications in a distributed way on virtual private clouds. FBPCF (Facebook Private Computation Framework) is for scaling MPC computation up via threading, while FBPCP is for scaling MPC computation out via Private Scaling architecture. FBPCP consists of various services, interfaces that enable various private measurement solutions, e.g. Private Lift.
Private Scaling resembles the map/reduce architecture and is secure against a semi-honest adversary who tries to learn the inputs of the computation. The goal is to secure the intermediate output of each shard to prevent potential privacy leak.
