Protecting membership in a secure multi-party computation and/or communication

Protecting membership in secure multi-party computation and communication is provided. A method of protecting membership includes generating a padding dataset, up-sampling a first dataset with the padding dataset, transforming and dispatching the first dataset, receiving a second dataset, and performing a private set intersection operation based on the first dataset and the second dataset to generate a third dataset. Each of the first dataset, the padding dataset, and/or the second dataset includes one or more personal identification information for each user or member in the dataset.
