Root of Unity for Secure Distributed Matrix Multiplication: Grid Partition Case
We consider the problem of secure distributed matrix multiplication (SDMM), where a user has two matrices and wishes to compute their product with the help of N honest but curious servers under the security constraint that any information about either A or B is not leaked to any server. This paper presents a new scheme that considers a grid product partition for matrices A and B, which achieves an upload cost significantly lower than the existing results in the literature. Since the grid partition is a general partition that incorporates the inner and outer ones, it turns out that the communication load of the proposed scheme matches the best-known protocols for those extreme cases.
