In this paper, we consider the case that sharing many secrets among a set of participants using the threshold schemes. All secrets are assumed to be statistically independent and the weak secure condition is focused on. Under such…
A secret sharing scheme is a method to store information securely and reliably. Particularly, in a threshold secret sharing scheme, a secret is encoded into $n$ shares, such that any set of at least $t_1$ shares suffice to decode the…
Secret sharing is a method of dividing a secret among n par- ticipants and allows only qualified subset to reconstruct the secret and hence provides better reliability and availability of secret data.In the generalized secret sharing…
In Shamir's secret sharing scheme, all participants possess equal privileges. However, in many practical scenarios, it is often necessary to assign different levels of authority to different participants. To address this requirement,…
Secret sharing is a new alternative for outsourcing data in a secure way.It avoids the need for time consuming encryption decryption process and also the complexity involved in key management.The data must also be protected from untrusted…
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…
The main goal of this work is to propose the design of secret sharing schemes based on hard-on-average problems. It includes the description of a new multiparty protocol whose main application is key management in networks. Its…
Two recently published papers propose some very simple key distribution schemes designed to enable two or more parties to establish a shared secret key with the aid of a third party. Unfortunately, as we show, most of the schemes are…
Secret sharing is an important building block in cryptography. All explicitly defined secret sharing schemes with known exact complexity bounds are multi-linear, thus are closely related to linear codes. The dual of such a linear scheme, in…
We propose an adaptive threshold multi secret sharing scheme based solely on cryptographically secure hash functions. We show that the proposed scheme is also: perfect, ideal, verifiable, and proactive. Moreover the proposed scheme has a…
Disjunctive Hierarchical Secret Sharing (DHSS) scheme is a secret sharing scheme in which the set of all participants is partitioned into disjoint subsets. Each disjoint subset is said to be a level, and different levels have different…
We generalize secret-sharing models that rely on correlated randomness and public communication, originally designed for a fixed access structure, to support a sequence of dynamic access structures, which we term an Additive Access…
In this work, we study the performance of Reed-Solomon codes against an adversary that first permutes the symbols of the codeword and then performs insertions and deletions. This adversarial model is motivated by the recent interest in…
A verifiable multi-secret sharing (VMSS) scheme enables the dealer to share multiple secrets, and the deception of both participants and the dealer can be detected. After analyzing the security of VMSS schemes proposed by Mashhadi and…
Secret sharing schemes with optimal and universal communication overheads have been obtained independently by Bitar et al. and Huang et al. However, their constructions require a finite field of size q > n, where n is the number of shares,…
In this paper, we present secure distributed matrix multiplication (SDMM) schemes over the complex numbers with good numerical stability and small mutual information leakage by utilizing polynomial interpolation with roots of unity.…
Preserving data confidentiality in clouds is a key issue. Secret Sharing, a cryptographic primitive for the distribution of a secret among a group of $n$ participants designed so that only subsets of shareholders of cardinality $0 < t \leq…
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 homomorphic secret sharing (HSS) scheme is a secret sharing scheme that supports evaluating functions on shared secrets by means of a local mapping from input shares to output shares. We initiate the study of the download rate of HSS,…
A dealer aims to share a secret with participants so that only predefined subsets can reconstruct it, while others learn nothing. The dealer and participants access correlated randomness and communicate over a one-way, public, rate-limited…
