CSA ISO/IEC 4922-1:25

CSA Preface

Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the SCC Mirror Committee (SMC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC.

For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as CSA ISO/IEC 4922-1 throughout.

The International Standard was reviewed by the CSA Technical Committee on Cybersecurity under the jurisdiction of the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Information and Communications Technology Systems and deemed acceptable for use in Canada. This Standard has been formally approved, without modification, by the Technical Committee and has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

This document specifies definitions, terminology and processes for secure multiparty computation and related technology, in order to establish a taxonomy and enable interoperability. In particular, this document defines the processes involved in cryptographic mechanisms which compute a function on data while the data are kept private; the participating parties; and the cryptographic properties.

The terminology contained in this document is common to the ISO/IEC 4922 series.
