Secure Two-Party Feature Selection

In this work, we study how to securely evaluate the value of trading data without requiring a trusted third party. We focus on the important machine learning task of classification. This leads us to propose a provably secure four-round protocol that computes the value of the data to be traded without revealing the data to the potential acquirer. The theoretical results demonstrate a number of important properties of the proposed protocol. In particular, we prove the security of the proposed protocol in the honest-but-curious adversary model.
