Abstract
An apparatus is one of a plurality of apparatuses that participate in multi-party computation and the apparatus implements a protocol to perform zero-knowledge proof in secret-distribution-based multi-party computation. The apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires a share of data related to a matter to be certified, and an output unit that outputs an output share obtained as a result of performing calculation according to the protocol using the acquired share as an input. Verification in zero-knowledge proof can be performed using output shares collected from the plurality of apparatuses participating in the multi-party computation.
