SMCQL: Secure Querying for Federated Databases

Summary: Federated PDN for privacy-preserving SQL across distrustful databases. SMCQL translates SQL to MPC primitives; an honest broker coordinates oblivious cross-site execution, revealing only results, while a heuristic optimizer minimizes MPC cost via query slicing.
