Abstract
In recent years, with the development of information security, secure multi-party computation has gradually become a research hotspot in the field of privacy protection. The intersection and union computation of graphs is an important branch of secure computing geometry. At present, the intersection and union of graphs are almost designed under the semi-honest model, and few solutions are proposed under the malicious model. However, the solution under the malicious model is more secure and has important theoretical and practical significance. In this paper, the possible malicious behaviors of computing the intersection and union of graphs are analyzed. Using the Lifted-ElGamal threshold cryptosystem and zero-knowledge proof method, the secure multi-party computation algorithm of graphs’ intersection and union under the malicious model is designed. The real/ideal model paradigm is used to prove the security of the algorithm, the efficiency of the algorithm is analyzed in detail, and the feasibility is verified through experiment.
