On secure multiparty sampling for more than two parties

Abstract

We investigate secure multi-party sampling problems involving more than two parties. In the public discussion model, we give a simple characterization of the distributions that can be sampled without any setup. In a model which allows private point-to-point communication, we reduce the problem of characterizing distributions that can be securely sampled using pairwise setups to the problem of characterizing distributions that can be sampled without any setups.
