Textual masking for multiparty computation is provided. The method comprises receiving masked input data from a number of contributors, wherein the input data from each contributor has a unique contributor mask value. A unique analyst mask factor is received for each contributor, computed by an analyst as a difference between a uniform analyst mask value and the contributor mask value. An API call is received from the analyst to aggregate the input data from the contributors. The respective analyst mask factors are added to the input data from the contributors, and the data is aggregated and shuffled. Computational results received from the analyst based on the aggregated input data are published. In response to API calls from the contributors, the analyst mask factors are removed from the computational results, wherein computational results received by each contributor are masked only by the respective contributor mask value.
