  • Patent number: 10972260
    Abstract: Provided is a pre-calculation device capable of keeping a secret against malicious behaviors of participants while keeping a processing load small. A Beaver triple generation processor generates a secret-shared Beaver triple formed of two secret-shared random numbers and a secret-shared value of a product of the two random numbers. A Beaver triple random inspection processor randomly selects a secret-shared Beaver triple, restores the Beaver triple through communication to and from other pre-calculation devices, and confirms that a product of first two elements is equal to a third element. The Beaver triple position stirring processor randomly replaces Beaver triples that have not been restored, to generate replaced secret-shared Beaver triples.
