Do multi-party computing with ABY have to be based on the same program？

[siaaron045]

I want to do an experiment using ABY. Suppose there are two programs Alice and Bob in two servers. Whether ABY can achieve secure multi-party computing between Alice and Bob? I want to do this: 1.Alice send a number X to bob; 2. Alice puts a number R to circuit and Bob puts the number X to circuit. 3.Using the circuit to achieve secure computing. Can ABY do this? How to achieve communication between two programs using ABY? If you see this issue , please help me, I am student and I want to graduate.°(°ˊДˋ°) ° Thanks a lot.

Hi, ABY may be called from different programs, but both need to construct the same circuit of course. The simplest way to add another communication channel between Alice and Bob is to use your favorite networking library independently of ABY.

Thank you.Can you recommend a library which can easily add communication channel between Alice and Bob?

Boost.Asio is quite nice to use in C++, especially compared to the classic BSD Socket API.
