A Communication-Efficient Distributed Matrix Multiplication Scheme with Privacy, Security, and Resiliency by Tao Wang, Zhiping Shi, Juan Yang, Sha Liu

“…Inspired by the application of repairing Reed–Solomon (RS) codes in distributed storage and secret sharing, we propose SDMM schemes with reduced communication overhead through the use of trace polynomials. Specifically, these schemes are designed to address three critical concerns: (i) ensuring information-theoretic privacy against collusion among servers; (ii) providing security against Byzantine servers; and (iii) offering resiliency against stragglers to mitigate computing delays. …”
