Re: [viff-devel] Optimizing preprocessing

Computing directly on the field elements is hacking the abstractions of VIFF. Computation on field elements or rather the representation of a Share can be useful as an optimization, however this optimization should be confined within applications or runtimes, and should not progress over i

Hi Janus, I am not opposed to your suggestion. However I would like to point out that in VIFF you compute on shares and not field elements!. Computing directly on the field elements is hacking the abstractions of VIFF. I don't think so. Since I work with VIFF, it treats field elements as the
