In traditional runtime verification, a system is typically observed by a monolithic monitor. Enforcing privacy in such settings is computationally expensive, as it necessitates heavy cryptographic primitives. Therefore, privacy-preserving monitoring remains impractical for real-time applications. In this work, we address this scalability challenge by distributing the monitor across multiple parties -- at least one of which is honest. This architecture enables the use of efficient secret-sharing schemes instead of computationally intensive cryptography, dramatically reducing over-head while maintaining strong privacy guarantees. While existing secret-sharing approaches are typically limited to one-shot executions which do not maintain an internal state, we introduce a protocol tailored for continuous monitoring that supports repeated evaluations over an evolving internal state (kept secret from the system and the monitoring entities). We implement our approach using the MP-SPDZ framework. Our experiments demonstrate that, under these architectural assumptions, our protocol is significantly more scalable than existing alternatives.
