Semi-honest adversaries are participants in a secure multi-party computation scenario who follow the protocol as specified but attempt to gain additional information from the data they receive. They do not deviate from the protocol but may exploit their knowledge to infer private information about other participants. This makes them a significant concern in designing secure protocols, as they balance between honesty and potential malicious intent.
