Abstract

Logic Programming (LP) is a subcategory of declarative programming that is considered to be relatively simple for non-programmers. LP developers focus on describing facts and rules of a logical derivation, and do not need to think about the algorithms actually implementing the derivation. Secure multiparty computation (MPC) is a cryptographic technology that allows to perform computation on private data without actually seeing the data. In this paper, we bring together the notions of MPC and LP, allowing users to write privacy-preserving applications in logic programming language.
