Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll use the “dark magic” of secure multiparty computation (MPC) to create a dating game app. MPC lets a group of participants run a joint computation over their inputs while keeping these inputs private, and this dating game will stand as proof-of-concept for other uses for the technique. You’ll develop a game that matches participants if they both like each other, and use privacy-enhancing cryptography to make sure sensitive information cannot leak. Your project will be created using Rust, which is a perfect choice for cryptography thanks to its guaranteed memory safety and other low-level language features.

This project is a part of the series Learn Privacy-Enhancing Techniques with Cryptographic Games.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

prerequisites

The liveProject is for beginner Rust developers. You might have heard that MPC is an advanced concept in cryptography, but there’s no need to worry—the hands-on examples in this liveProject are perfect for a beginner, and focused on practical implementation. To begin this liveProject you will need to be familiar with the following:

TOOLS
  • Basic Rust
