3 min readOct 14, 2020

We are pleased to announce that ARPA has entered into a partnership with Amazon AWS and joined Amazon AWS Joint Innovation Center.

ARPA is the first privacy-preserving computation enterprise in China to partner with Amazon AWS. The Amazon AWS Joint Innovation Center will provide ARPA with technology support and innovative enterprise solution services on cloud computing, big data, fintech, as well as enterprise marketing.

Data is the fuel and a factor of production in the digital society. It is a new asset class. The secure flow of data requires privacy-preserving computation, and distributed privacy-preserving computation requires robust, secure, and stable cloud computing services. The alliance of ARPA and Amazon AWS will be an integral part of the future data flow infrastructure.

After joining JIC, ARPA will continue to strengthen its partnership with Amazon AWS to deepen its root in the data industry and privacy-preserving technology to build a more secure, efficient digital future.

About ARPA

ARPA is a blockchain-based solution for privacy-preserving computation, enabled by Multi-Party Computation (“MPC”). Founded in April 2018, the goal of ARPA is to separate data utility from ownership, and enable data renting. ARPA’s MPC protocol creates ways for multiple entities to collaboratively analyze data and extract data synergies, while keeping each party’s data input private and secure. ARPA allows secret sharing of private data, and the correctness of computation is verifiable using information-theoretic Message Authentication Code (MAC).

Developers can build privacy-preserving dApps on blockchains compatible with ARPA. Some immediate use cases include: credit anti-fraud, secure data wallet, precision marketing, joint AI model training, key management systems, etc. For example, banks using the ARPA network can share their credit blacklist with each other for risk management purposes without exposing their customer data or privacy.

Team members have worked at leading institutions such as Google, Amazon, Huawei, Fosun, Tsinghua University, Fidelity Investments. ARPA is currently assisting the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology in setting the national standard for secure multi-party computation. ARPA is a corporate member of MPC Alliance and IEEE and is in partnership with fortune 500 companies to implement proof-of-concepts and MPC products. In 2019, ARPA was named as the Top 10 most innovative blockchain companies in China by China Enterprise News and China Software Industry Association.
