Abstract
According to an aspect, there is provided a method of operating a first computing node to distribute a computation output, the method comprising: determining a first random mask; providing the first random mask as a private input to a computation by a first evaluator node and a second evaluator node; receiving, from each of the first evaluator node and the second evaluator node, a respective masked computation output, wherein each masked computation output is a function of an output of the computation and the first random mask; if the received respective masked computation outputs match, determining the output of the computation from the received masked computation output and the first random mask; and sending information to the first evaluator node and the second evaluator node to enable the first evaluator node and the second evaluator node to determine the output of the computation from the respective masked computation output.
