From the reviews: "This book, an elaboration of the author's PhD thesis, presents alternative approaches to the development of secure two-party computation protocols based on secure function evaluation (SFE). ... Directions for future research are offered and a comprehensive bibliography is provided. In a nutshell, this is an interesting book that could be used in a vertical way by implementers, practitioners, and graduate students. Security practitioners could use it in broader terms to support their horizon scanning techniques for emerging technologies." (Alessandro Berni, ACM Computing Reviews, December, 2012)
