Secret Sharing Schemes (SSS) are methods for distributing a secret among a set of participants. One of the first Secret Sharing Schemes was proposed by M. Mignotte, based on the Chinese remainder theorem over the ring of integers. In this…
One of scenarios in data-sharing applications is that files are managed by multiple owners, and the list of file owners may change dynamically. However, most existing solutions to this problem rely on trusted third parties and have…
In the $\left( {t,n} \right)$ threshold quantum secret sharing scheme, it is difficult to ensure that internal participants are honest. In this paper, a verifiable $\left( {t,n} \right)$ threshold quantum secret sharing scheme is designed…
Quantum secret sharing (QSS) allows a dealer to distribute a secret quantum state among a set of parties so that certain subsets can reconstruct the secret, while unauthorized subsets obtain no information. While QSS was introduced over…
Sharing a secret efficiently amongst a group of participants is not easy since there is always an adversary / eavesdropper trying to retrieve the secret. In secret sharing schemes, every participant is given a unique share. When the desired…
A directly public verifiable signcryption scheme is introduced in this paper that provides the security attributes of message confidentiality, authentication, integrity, non-repudiation, unforgeability, and forward secrecy of message…
In modern cryptography, the secret sharing scheme is an important cryptographic primitive and it is used in various situations. In this paper, a timed-release secret sharing scheme (TR-SS) with information-theoretic security is first…
This article introduces a novel Quantum Secret Sharing scheme with $( k, n )$ threshold and endowed with verification capability. The new protocol exploits the power of entanglement and evolves in three phases. The primary novelty of the…
Signcryption is a cryptographic primitive which performs encryption and signature in a single logical step. In conventional signcryption only receiver of the signcrypted text can verify the authenticity of the origin i.e. signature of the…
Homomorphic secret sharing (HSS) allows multiple input clients to secret-share their data among multiple servers such that each server is able to locally compute a function on its shares to obtain a partial result and all partial results…
A symmetric searchable encryption (SSE) scheme allows a client (data owner) to search on encrypted data outsourced to an untrusted cloud server. The search may either be a single keyword search or a complex query search like conjunctive or…
Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) has been widespread in Distributed Privacy-preserving Machine Learning (DPML), because invalid shares from malicious dealers or participants can be recognized by verifying the commitment of the received…
With the advantages of both classical and quantum secret sharing, many practical hybrid quantum secret sharing have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a hybrid quantum secret sharing scheme based on mutually unbiased bases and…
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,…
An authenticated encryption scheme allows messages to be encrypted and authenticated simultaneously. In 2003, Ma and Chen proposed such a scheme with public verifiability. That is, in their scheme the receiver can efficiently prove to a…
In this paper, a renewable, multi-use, multi-secret sharing scheme for general access structure based on one-way collision resistant hash function is presented in which each participant has to carry only one share. By applying…
To detect frauds from some internal participants or external attackers, some verifiable threshold quantum secret sharing schemes have been proposed. In this paper, we present a new verifiable threshold structure based on a single qubit…
In the paper we propose general framework for Automatic Secret Generation and Sharing (ASGS) that should be independent of underlying secret sharing scheme. ASGS allows to prevent the dealer from knowing the secret or even to eliminate him…
Visual cryptography schemes have been introduced in 1994 by Naor and Shamir. Their idea was to encode a secret image into $n$ shadow images and to give exactly one such shadow image to each member of a group $P$ of $n$ persons. Whereas most…
Group oriented applications are getting more and more popular in mobile Internet and call for secure and efficient secret sharing (SS) scheme to meet their requirements. A $(t,n)$ threshold SS scheme divides a secret into $n$ shares such…
