Authenticated Outsourced Incrementally Verifiable MPC

A research paper proposes Authenticated Outsourced Incrementally Verifiable MPC (IV-MPC), a framework that decouples private proof computation run by MPC nodes from public proof tasks delegated to a single external prover, enabling external auditors to verify long-running MPC computation at every round with verification time asymptotically independent of the total number of epochs. The framework rests on three components: a Private-opening Polynomial Commitment Scheme (PoPCS) that lets an incoming committee prove it received correct state shares without revealing the underlying data, a distributed proof system based on the sumcheck protocol and compressed Σ-protocols to verify state updates, and a stateless handover technique that anchors committee transfers to a fixed state commitment so proof sizes do not grow over time. The work targets privacy-preserving applications such as iterative machine learning training, where long-lived secret state must survive adaptive corruptions through periodic share refreshes and committee rotation.

Many privacy-preserving applications such as iterative machine learning training require executing ongoing computations over a secret state for long periods of time. While MPC enables secure computation, long-lived secret state is vulnerable to adaptive corruptions, requiring periodic share refreshes and committee rotation. In many settings, it is desirable for external parties to be able to verify that these state updates and rotations are performed correctly, but existing approaches for such public verifiability incur high overhead as they require MPC nodes to generate expensive proofs over secret-shared data. We propose Authenticated Outsourced Incrementally Verifiable MPC (IV-MPC), a framework for efficient public verification of long-running MPC computation. Our approach decouples private proof computation (run by MPC nodes) from public tasks within the proof generation that can be delegated to a single external prover $P^$. To realize this architecture, we introduce three main components: (1) a Private-opening Polynomial Commitment Scheme (PoPCS) that lets an incoming committee prove they received the correct state shares without revealing the underlying data; (2) an efficient distributed proof system based on the sumcheck protocol and compressed $\Sigma$-protocols to verify state updates; and (3) a stateless handover technique that anchors committee transfers to a fixed state commitment, preventing proof sizes from growing over time. Combined with an incrementally verifiable computation (IVC) proof run by the external prover $P^$, IV-MPC enables external auditors to verify correctness of MPC computation at every round with verification time asymptotically independent of the total number of epochs.
