contents Typical protocols in the multi-party private set operations (MPSO) setting enable m > 2 parties to perform certain secure computation on the intersection or union of their private sets, realizing a very limited range of MPSO functionalities. Most works in this field focus on just one or two specific functionalities, resulting in a large variety of isolated schemes and a lack of a unified framework in MPSO research. In this work, we present an MPSO framework, which allows m parties, each holding a set, to securely compute any set formulas (arbitrary compositions of a finite number of binary set operations, including intersection, union and difference) on their private sets. Our framework is highly versatile and can be instantiated to accommodate a broad spectrum of MPSO functionalities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first framework to achieve such a level of flexibility and generality in MPSO, without relying on generic secure multi-party computation (MPC) techniques. Our framework exhibits favorable theoretical and practical performance. The computation and communication complexity scale linearly with the set size n, and it achieves optimal complexity that is on par with the naive solution for widely used functionalities, such as multi-party private set intersection (MPSI), MPSI with cardinality output (MPSI-card), and MPSI with cardinality and sum (MPSI-card-sum), in the standard semi-honest model. Furthermore, the instantiations of our framework mainly from symmetric-key techniques yield efficient protocols for MPSI, MPSI-card, MPSI-card-sum, and multi-party private set union (MPSU), with online performance surpassing or matching the state of the art.
