Secure Batch Matrix Multiplication From Grouping Lagrange Encoding

Abstract

In this letter, the problem of distributed Secure Batch Matrix Multiplication (SBMM) is studied, where a user wishes to compute the pairwise products of two batches of massive matrices <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mathbf {A}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mathbf {B}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> generated by two external source nodes, with the aid of <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$N$ </tex-math></inline-formula> distributed servers. The security for data matrices <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mathbf {A}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> (resp. <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mathbf {B}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> ) is guaranteed against any group of up to <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$X_{\mathbf {A}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> (resp. <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$X_{\mathbf {B}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> ) colluding servers. As a result, a computation strategy is presented to characterize the trade-off between recovery threshold, system cost and system complexity, based on grouping Lagrange encoding, which unifies and improves the previous strategies for SBMM.
