This addresses secure probability computation for parties in distributed systems, but appears incremental as it builds on existing multiparty computation techniques.

The paper tackles the problem of securely generating and verifying probability events in multiparty computation by introducing a protocol that uses a single anonymized random number and oblivious transfer, and proposes a verification method that maintains privacy of the random numbers.

A multiparty computation protocol is described in which the parties can generate different probability events that is based on the sharing of a single anonymized random number, and also perform oblivious transfer. A method to verify the correctness of the procedure, without revealing the random numbers used by the parties, is proposed.
