MPC is a kind of super authentication in that a user will authenticate to a network using several factors (e.g., biometrics, identity, password, etc.) without any nodes in the network understanding what they are verifying since authentication computation is part of MPC.
This authentication will have identity management, healthcare, finance, government services, defence, and law enforcement applications. MPC facilitates system interoperability while simultaneously protecting people’s rights and providing them with control and visibility over their data and how it is utilised. MPC stands for the future.
