Dynamic and Verifiable Hierarchical Secret Sharing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we provide a framework for dynamic secret sharing and present the first dynamic and verifiable hierarchical secret sharing scheme based on Birkhoff interpolation. Since the scheme is dynamic it allows, without reconstructing the message distributed, to add and remove shareholders, to renew shares, and to modify the conditions for accessing the message. Furthermore, each shareholder can verify its share received during these algorithms protecting itself against malicious dealers and shareholders. While these algorithms were already available for classical Lagrange interpolation based secret sharing, corresponding techniques for Birkhoff interpolation based schemes were missing. Note that Birkhoff interpolation is currently the only technique available that allows to construct hierarchical secret sharing schemes that are efficient and allow to provide shares of equal size for all shareholder in the hierarchy. Thus, our scheme is an important contribution to hierarchical secret sharing.

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<...
متن کاملAn Efficient Threshold Verifiable Multi-Secret Sharing Scheme Using Generalized Jacobian of Elliptic Curves
In a (t,n)-threshold secret sharing scheme, a secret s is distributed among n participants such that any group of t or more participants can reconstruct the secret together, but no group of fewer than t participants can do. In this paper, we propose a verifiable (t,n)-threshold multi-secret sharing scheme based on Shao and Cao, and the intractability of the elliptic curve discrete logar...
متن کاملDealer-Leakage Resilient Verifiable Secret Sharing
Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) guarantees that honest parties reconstruct a consistent secret even in the presence of a malicious dealer that distributes invalid shares. We empower the dishonest dealer and consider the case when he subliminally leaks information in valid shares, allowing an adversary to access the secret prior to the reconstruction phase. We define the concept of Dealer-Leakag...

Verifiable secret sharing is a cryptographic primitive used in many distributed applications. To engineer realistic applications, it is beneficial to have dynamically changing shares and shareholder groups. Proactive secret sharing schemes deal with dynamically changing shares. Secret redistribution schemes solve issues of both dynamically changing shares and shareholder groups. In this dissert...
متن کاملDistributed Key Management in Wireless Mesh Networks based on Verifiable Secret Sharing
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are wireless access networks based on IP technologies, which combine the advantages of WLANs and ad hoc networks and have thus become broadband access networks with high capacity, high speed and wide coverage. Due to the multi-hop characteristics of WMNs, security has become a critical issue in WMNs and a simple and effective distributed key management is essential...
