Advance sharing of quantum shares for quantum secrets

Quantum Physics 2024-04-25 v1

Abstract

Secret sharing is a cryptographic scheme to encode a secret to multiple shares being distributed to participants, so that only qualified sets of participants can restore the original secret from their shares. When we encode a secret by a secret sharing scheme and distribute shares, sometimes not all participants are accessible, and it is desirable to distribute shares to those participants before a secret information is determined. Secret sharing schemes for classical secrets have been known to be able to distribute some shares before a given secret. Lie et al. found any pure (k,2k1)(k,2k-1)-threshold secret sharing for quantum secrets can distribute some shares before a given secret. However, it is unknown whether distributing some shares before a given secret is possible with other access structures of secret sharing for quantum secrets. We propose a quantum secret sharing scheme for quantum secrets that can distribute some shares before a given secret with other access structures.
