== Functionality Description==
Delegated Computation is the task of assigning computation on hidden data to a powerful untrusted party (a device) by a weak (in terms of computational powers) party while maintaining privacy of hidden data from the powerful party. Protocols under this functionality are commonly called Client (weak party)-Server (powerful party) protocols. Delegated Quantum Computation (DQC) protocols involve partially/fully classical Client delegating a quantum computation to fully powerful single/multiple quantum Server/Servers. All DQC protocols involve three main stages, Preparation Stage, Computation Stage and Output Correction Stage. The roles of Client and Server in the different stages may differ according to the type of communication used. It can be performed via classical and quantum communication. If it is carried out only during Preparation and Correction stage, it is called offline communication else if the communication is carried out during the computation stage, it is online communication. If the outcome can be verified by the Client it is a verifiable delegated quantum computation protocol. Hence, based on the above requirements, DQC protocols can be classified as follows.

It involves a partially quantum Client who can prepare and send quantum states use quantum offline communication to send input to the Server, in the preparation Stage and to receive outputs from the Server, during output correction. Client and Server then use classical online communication to exchange classical messages during computation phase. Universal Blind Quantum Computation (UBQC) falls under this category, where Client hides his input, output and computation from the Server using [[Supplementary Information#Measurement Based Quantum Computation|'''MBQC''']].  If the task performed by Server can be verified by the Client, it is Verifiable Universal Blind Quantum Computation (VUBQC). Classes of protocols under this category are:
