 ## Overview
 
-Private Data Lookup (PDL) is a web application that allows users to privately query a server-side data set of breached passwords during account creation. PDL is based on a secure multiparty computation mechanism called Private Set Intersection where two parties holdings sets (of credentials) can compute the intersection of the two sets without revealing their sets to the counterpart. The result is better *application security* by encouraging the use of stronger passwords and better *user privacy* by minimizing the information revealed to the server in the password precheck process.
