These servers are assumed to be honest-but-curious, i.e., they work according to the protocol, but try to deduce information about the data. The problem of secure distributed matrix multiplication (SDMM) has been considered in the context of matrix multiplication over finite fields, which is not always feasible in real world applications. We present two schemes, which allow for variable degree of security based on the use case and allow for colluding and straggling servers. We analyze the security and the numerical accuracy of the schemes and observe a trade-off between accuracy and security.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.03352v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2202.03352v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"analog-secure-distributed-matrix","repo_url":"https://github.com/okkomakkonen/sdmm-over-complex","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
