Hi all,
I wanted to bring to the group’s attention some work that I have become aware of, which seems to me to be worth considering for NCAP. In 2017, a paper was published in VLDB (the very top-tier of large-scale data infrastructure research) about a tool for ``mutually distrustful parties’’ to allow untrusted clients to query and join datasets. I (personally) found the work to be inspired. It uses techniques like secure circuits and Oblivious RAM (ORAM) to implement a Secure Multiparty Computation (SMC) extensions/optimizations for SQL-like quires (called SMCQL). The paper can be found here:

I have reached out to the authors and begun reaching out to others that I know who work in this area for other references. Ahead of that, however, I thought I would share early-and-often with the group, here. I am happy to share any more of my thoughts.
Thanks,
Eric
