# Secure Multi-party Computation (MPC)

**Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC)** is a subfield of cryptography that allows different participants to execute a program together without necessarily revealing their own input to the program. The motivation for MPC is to replace trusted third party with cryptographic protocol.
