Verifiable secret sharing schemes are important in cloud computing environments. Thus a key can be distributed over many servers by threshold secret sharing mechanism. The key is then reconstructed when needed. Secret sharing has also been suggested for sensor networks where the links are liable to be tapped by sending the data in shares which makes the task of the eavesdropper harder. The secu...

A secret sharing scheme derives from a given secret certain shares (or shadows) which are distributed to users. The secret can be recovered only by certain predetermined groups. In the first secret sharing schemes only the number of the participants in the reconstruction phase was important for recovering the secret. Such schemes have been referred to as threshold secret sharing schemes. In the...

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 cloud service providers. Secret sharing based solution provides secure information dispersal by making shares of the original data and distributes them amon...

In a perfect secret-sharing scheme, a dealer distributes a secret among a set of participants in such a way that only qualified subsets of participants can recover the secret and the joint share of the participants in any unqualified subset is statistically independent of the secret. The access structure of the scheme refers to the collection of all qualified subsets. In a graph-based access st...

We propose a new quantum secret sharing scheme using a single non-entangled qubit. In the scheme, by transmitting a qubit to the next party sequentially, a sender can securely transmit a secret message to N receivers who could only decode the message cooperatively after randomly shuffling the polarization of the qubit. We explain this quantum secret sharing scheme into the one between a sender ...

In his paper [9], Stadler develops techniques for improving the security of existing secret sharing protocols by allowing to check whether the secret shares given out by the dealer are valid. In particular, the secret sharing is executed over abelian groups. In this paper we develop similar methods over non-abelian groups.

In this paper we mainly focus on the fraud problem among the players and the shortcomings of multisecret sharing existed in rational secret sharing schemes. Based on the exited schemes and the related knowledge such as bit commitment agreement, we proposed a new rational multi-secret sharing scheme that has high security. In our scheme, we take an identity authentication for the dealer in distr...

With prevalent attacks in communication, sharing a secret between communicating parties is an ongoing challenge. Moreover, it is important to integrate quantum solutions with classical secret sharing schemes with low computational cost for the real world use. This paper proposes a novel hybrid threshold adaptable quantum secret sharing scheme, using an m-bonacci orbital angular momentum (OAM) p...

A multi-secret sharing scheme, which is based on one-dimensional reversible cellular automata with memory, allowing any member of a set of participants to share a secret color image with the rest of participants is presented. Moreover, it is also explained that with this scheme, any participant is able to recover all the secret color images if and only if the whole set of participants pools the...

Traditional secret sharing schemes involve complex computation.A visual secret sharing (VSS) scheme decodes the secret without computation, but each shadow is m times as big as the original. Probabilistic VSS solved the computation complexity and space complexity problems at once. In this paper we propose a probabilistic (2, n) scheme for binary images and a deterministic (n, n) scheme for gray...
