In one set of embodiments, each server executing a secure multi-party computation (MPC) protocol can receive shares of inputs to the MPC protocol from a plurality of clients, where each input is private to each client and where each share is generated from its corresponding input using a threshold secret sharing scheme. Each server can then verify whether the shares of the plurality of inputs are valid/invalid and, for each invalid share, determine whether a client that submitted the invalid share or a server that holds the invalid share is corrupted. If the client that submitted the invalid share is corrupted, each server can ignore the input of that corrupted client during a computation phase of the MPC protocol. Alternatively, if the server that holds the invalid share is corrupted, each server can prevent that corrupted server from participating in the computation phase.
