An explication of secret sharing schemes

Highlights We propose an efficient (n, t, n)-VSS. We propose a (n, t, n)-MSS. We propose a (n, t, n)-VMSS. All our (n, t, n) SS are unconditionally secure. Recently, Harn and Lin introduced a notion of strong t-consistency of a (t, n) secret sharing ...

Secret sharing schemes allow a secret to be shared among a group of participants so that only qualified subsets of participants can recover the secret. A visual cryptography scheme (VCS) is a special kind of secret sharing scheme in which the secret to ...

In Shamir's t, n secret sharing SS scheme, the secret s is divided into n shares by a dealer and is shared among n shareholders in such a way that any t or more than t shares can reconstruct this secret; but fewer than t shares cannot obtain any ...
