Secure Multiparty Computation (MPC) is a fundamental problem in distributed cryptography. Although MPC in the synchronous communication setting has received tremendous attention in security research, recent interest in deploying MPC in real-life systems requires going beyond the synchronous setting and working towards MPC in the weaker asynchronous communication setting. The asynchronous setting, however, does not come without a penalty: asynchronous MPC (AMPC) protocols among n parties can only tolerate up to t < n/3 active corruptions in contrast to the synchronous protocols, which can tolerate up to t
