Re: [proposals] Why are multi-party computation solutions the only ones that should be considered? (#7)

@alextcone, I just changed the name back (I agree that the discussion stopped making sense under James' new title).

To @michaelkleber's question, the logic is simple:

1. Requirement: We want to design an aggregation system in which no single [malicious|compromised] party can get non-aggregated data
2. (Unstated requirements): the system produces useful information; the system does not cost inordinately much; etc....
3. Analysis: MPC is most likely outcome.

Like @eriktaubeneck, this isn't an absolute position, it's a prediction or even a guess about what is most likely to work.  It's not saying that alternatives don't exist, but that they seem less likely to be able to address the requirement.
