Practical and Efficient MPC from FHE, without ZKPoKs

This IACR eprint paper by Cong, Smart, Tanguy and Walter (Zama) shows how to eliminate Zero-Knowledge Proofs-of-Knowledge from the FHE-based malicious-secure MPC protocol of Smart (IMA, 2023), simplifying and modularizing its security proof. It introduces a formal security notion for "encrypted PRF" functionality within FHE schemes and proves the Deo et al. (CCS 2025) construction secure under this model, yielding a more practical and efficient MPC-from-FHE protocol.

TL;DR New FHE-based malicious-secure MPC protocol drops ZKPoKs by formalizing and proving secure an "encrypted PRF" primitive.
