I want to ask some questions about the paper ,

_Decentralizing Privacy: Using Blockchain to Protect Personal Data_

In this paper , it refer the Tdata , Taccess can store some information and send in blockchain.

I wonder the Tdata , Taccess , they both are transaction , but are they also smart contract?

* * *

_Enigma: Decentralized Computation Platform with Guaranteed Privacy_

In this paper , I wonder when share be generate? I know encrypted data & public data , but what cause share be generated?

data --(by policy encrypt)–\> encrypted data --( **what party in share?** )

–\> share --(for privacy)–\> spdz (verified correct)

and , is share step equal the secret smart contract ? or spdz step.

Hi @ARsakura,

The white papers you’re referencing are not implementation specs for the current Enigma network. They discuss early possibilities for the design of a decentralized platform for computation on encrypted data using MPC (Multi-Party Computation). Enigma’s current implementation uses TEE, a hardware-based solution using Intel’s SGX.

Enigma’s technical documentation can be found here: [https://enigma.co/discovery-documentation](https://enigma.co/discovery-documentation)

I hope that helps!

Great! @ARsakura feel free to post here on the forum or in the discord `dev-discussion` channel if you want to explore ideas or to talk about your interests/projects as they relate to Enigma 😃 .
