Universally composable (UC) multi-party computation has been studied in two settings. When a majority of parties are honest, UC multi-party computation is possible without any assumptions. Without a majority of honest parties, UC multi-party computation is impossible in the plain model, but feasibility results have been obtained in various augmented models. The most popular such model posits a
common reference string
(CRS) available to parties executing the protocol.
In either of the above settings, some
assumption
regarding the protocol execution is made: i.e., that many parties are honest in the first case, or that a legitimately-chosen string is available in the second. If this assumption is incorrect then all security is lost.
A natural question is whether it is possible to design protocols secure if
either one
of these assumptions holds, i.e., a protocol which is secure if
either
at most
s
players are dishonest
or
if up to
t
>
s
players are dishonest but the CRS is chosen in the prescribed manner. We show that such protocols exist if and only if
s
+
t
<
n
.
