چکیده

At the beginning some results from the field of graph theory are presented. Next we show how to share a secret that is proper n-coloring of the graph, with the known structure. The graph is described and converted to the form, where colors assigned to vertices form the number with entries from Zn. A secret sharing scheme (SSS) for the graph coloring is proposed. The proposed method is applied to the public-key cryptosystem called “Polly Cracker”. In this case the graph structure is a public key, while proper 3-colouring of the graph is a private key. We show how to share the private key. Sharing particular n-coloring (colorto-vertex assignment) for the known-structure graph is presented next.

A Fast Publicly Verifiable Secret Sharing Scheme using Non-homogeneous Linear Recursions

A non-interactive (t,n)-publicly veriable secret sharing scheme (non-interactive (t,n)-PVSS scheme) is a (t,n)-secret sharing scheme in which anyone, not only the participants of the scheme, can verify the correctness of the produced shares without interacting with the dealer and participants. The (t,n)-PVSS schemes have found a lot of applications in cryptography because they are suitable for<...

Secret Sharing Based On Cartesian product Of Graphs

The purpose of this paper is to study the information ratio of perfect secret sharing of product of some special families of graphs. We seek to prove that the information ratio of prism graphs $Y_{n}$ are equal to $frac{7}{4}$ for any $ngeq 5$, and we will gave a partial answer to a question of Csirmaz cite{CL}. We will also study the information ratio of two other families $C_{m}times C_{n}$ a...

Perfect Privacy for Webmail with Secret Sharing

With the many advantages of web-based mail comes a very serious privacy flaw – all messages are stored in a single central location on the webmail operator’s data center. This fact makes these data centers a natural interception point for various undesirable parties, severely risking the privacy of individual webmail users. We propose a novel and unique way to solve this problem and protect the...

On the design and security of a lattice-based threshold secret sharing scheme

In this paper, we introduce a method of threshold secret sharing scheme (TSSS) in which secret reconstruction is based on Babai's nearest plane algorithm. In order to supply secure public channels for transmitting shares to parties, we need to ensure that there are no quantum threats to these channels. A solution to this problem can be utilization of lattice-based cryptosystems for these channe...

Key transport protocol based on secret sharing: an application to conditional access systems

In today’s digital world, multimedia content is delivered to homes via the Internet, satellite, terrestrial and cable networks. Scrambling is a common approach used by conditional access systems to prevent unauthorized access to audio/visual data. The descrambling keys are securely distributed to the receivers in the same transmission channel. Their protection is an important part of the key ma...
