Does libsnark support generation of a trusted setup/public parameters via MPC?

Secure Sampling of Public Parameters for Succinct Zero Knowledge Proofs states:

We design, build, and evaluate a multi-party protocol for securely sampling encodings of random evaluations of certain circuits. The resulting system enables us, in particular, to sample the public parameters for a class of preprocessing zk-SNARKs that includes [21], [25], [31]; we integrated our system with libsnark [45], a C++ zk-SNARK library, to facilitate this application.

The public parameters, i.e., the proving and verifying keys can be generated using libsnark, but what about the multi-party part? The paper claims to have "[...] integrated our system with libsnark [...]," but I cannot find where that mulit-party protocol is implemented for libsnark.

Am I misreading the paper or where is that implementation?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
