Abstract: We present a new protocol for the following task. Given tow secrets a,b shared among n players, compute the value g^{ab}. The protocol uses the generic BGW approach for multiplication of shared secrets, but we show that if one is computing ``multiplications in the exponent'' the polynomial randomization step can be avoided (assuming the Decisional Diffie-Hellman Assumption holds). This results in a non-interactive and more efficient protocol.
