Question

Based on what I’ve seen during my recent edit-frenzy, I would like to suggest the following tag-synonyms for the multiparty-computation tag:

That is, unless someone objects to this suggestion…

I think all your suggestions are good and the synonyms should be created. I'll add one more smc. I see that in papers sometimes.

$\begingroup$ Just to be sure this doesn’t get lost in translation: poor me doesn’t have the 5 points needed to suggest those synonyms via the multiparty-computation tag page… so, if the suggestions make sense – could you be so kind and use your über-admin powers to add them? That would be great. (Thanks!) $\endgroup$ – e-sushi Sep 2 '14 at 1:39
$\begingroup$ @e-sushi thanks for the reminder. Had meant to do that. I added the synonyms. Note that secure-multiparty-computation was too long. $\endgroup$ – mikeazo Sep 3 '14 at 2:07
$\begingroup$ No prob… and thanks again. $\endgroup$ – e-sushi Sep 3 '14 at 2:20

"Secure Function Evaluation" too is cited some times in papers , not to be confused with functional encryption.

$\begingroup$ But are secure function evaluation and multiparty computation the same thing? $\endgroup$ – mikeazo Aug 6 '14 at 12:39
$\begingroup$ yes, SFE is same as SMC. to best of my knowledge $\endgroup$ – sashank Aug 6 '14 at 13:13

$\begingroup$ @mikeazo Indeed, they are not the same thing! SFE is a so-called sub-problem of SMPC, but it’s not anywhere near what we might call “a synonym”. (In case of doubt, see Wikipedia's “Secure function evaluation” and Wikipedia's “Secure multi-party computation – Two-party_computation”.) $\endgroup$ – e-sushi Aug 6 '14 at 14:20
