We investigate the concept of quantum secret sharing. In a ((k,n)) threshold scheme, a secret quantum state is divided into n shares such that any k of those shares can be used to reconstruct the secret, but any set of k-1 or fewer shares…

This work addresses the problem of sharing partial information within social learning strategies. In traditional social learning, agents solve a distributed multiple hypothesis testing problem by performing two operations at each instant:…

The evolving $k$-threshold secret sharing scheme allows the dealer to distribute the secret to many participants such that only no less than $k$ shares together can restore the secret. In contrast to the conventional secret sharing scheme,…

The motivation for extending secret sharing schemes to cases when either the set of players is infinite or the domain from which the secret and/or the shares are drawn is infinite or both, is similar to the case when switching to abstract…

Secret sharing allows three or more parties to share secret information which can only be decrypted through collaboration. It complements quantum key distribution as a valuable resource for securely distributing information. Here we take…

A restriction on quantum secret sharing (QSS) that comes from the no-cloning theorem is that any pair of authorized sets in an access structure should overlap. From the viewpoint of application, this places an unnatural constraint on secret…

We demonstrate a new construction for perfect quantum secret sharing (QSS) schemes based on imperfect "ramp" secret sharing combined with classical encryption, in which the individual parties' shares are split into quantum and classical…

A (k,n)-threshold secret-sharing scheme allows for a string to be split into n shares in such a way that any subset of at least k shares suffices to recover the secret string, but such that any subset of at most k-1 shares contains no…

This work investigates the design of sparse secret sharing schemes that encode a sparse private matrix into sparse shares. This investigation is motivated by distributed computing, where the multiplication of sparse and private matrices is…

A new concept of quantum secret sharing is introduced, in which collaboration among participants are encourage. And the dealer can ask the participants to send back their share and revoke the secret before a predefined date or event, i.e.…

This paper considers the problem of outsourcing the multiplication of two private and sparse matrices to untrusted workers. Secret sharing schemes can be used to tolerate stragglers and guarantee information-theoretic privacy of the…

In quantum secret sharing, a quantum secret state is mapped to multiple shares such that shares from qualified sets can recover the secret state and shares from other forbidden sets reveal nothing about the secret state; we study the…

We consider a distributed secret sharing system that consists of a dealer, $n$ storage nodes, and $m$ users. Each user is given access to a certain subset of storage nodes, where it can download the stored data. The dealer wants to securely…

Formulate the problem as follows. Split a file into n pieces so that it can be restored without any m parts (1<=m<=n). Such problems are called problems secret sharing. There exists a set of methods for solving such problems, but they all…

Secret sharing provides a means to distribute shares of a secret such that any authorized subset of shares, specified by an access structure, can be pooled together to recompute the secret. The standard secret sharing model requires public…

In a secret sharing scheme, shares of a secret are distributed to participants in such a way that only certain predetermined sets of participants are qualified to reconstruct the secret. An access structure on a set of participants…

We consider a distributed multi-user secret sharing (DMUSS) setting in which there is a dealer, $n$ storage nodes, and $m$ secrets. Each user demands a $t$-subset of $m$ secrets. Earlier work in this setting dealt with the case of $t=1$; in…
