Round-Optimal Black-Box MPC in the Plain Model

We give the first construction of a fully black-box round-optimal secure multiparty computation (MPC) protocol in the plain model. Our protocol makes black-box use of a sub-exponentially secure two-message statistical sender private oblivious transfer (SSP-OT), which in turn can be based on (sub-exponential variants of) almost all of the standard cryptographic assumptions known to imply public-key cryptography.
