Previously existing protocols are based on some intractability assumptions that have not been well studied [10, 9], & these protocols are only applicable for polynomials over finite fields. In this paper, we propose ecient OPE protocols which are based on Oblivious Transfer only. Slight modifications to our protocols immediately give protocols to handle polynomials over floating-point numbers. Many important real-world applications deal with floating-point numbers, instead of integers or arbitrary finite fields, & our protocols have the advantage of operating directly on floating-point numbers, instead of going through finite field simulation as that of [9]. As an example, we study the problem of Oblivious Neural Learning where a party has a neural network & the other party wants to train the neural network in an oblivious way with some training set. We give an ecient protocol for this problem, & in a sense it says that one can get smarter in an oblivious way.application/pdf187244 bytesapplication/pdfzh-TWthesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/20060927122847085407/1/thesis_r88023.pdf
