Ideal Secret Sharing Schemes for Useful Multipartite Access Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is a survey of the main results and open problems in a line of work that was initiated shortly after secret sharing was introduced. Namely, the construction of ideal linear secret sharing schemes for access structures that are natural generalizations of the threshold ones and have interesting properties for the applications. Some of them have hierarchical properties, while other ones are suitable for situations requiring the agreement of several parties. These access structures are multipartite, that is, the participants are distributed into several parts and all participants in the same part play an equivalent role in the structure. This line of work has received an impulse from a recently discovered connection between ideal multipartite secret sharing schemes and integer

Ideal secret sharing schemes with multipartite access structures
The concept of quasi-threshold multipartite access structures for secret sharing schemes is introduced. These access structures allow one distinguished class of participants to retain control over the reconstruction of the secret, while allowing flexibility over the quorum of participants from other classes. While ideal bipartite access structures have been classified, the case for multipartite...
متن کاملSecret sharing schemes for Multipartite access structures
Information security has become much more important since electronic communication is started to be used in our daily life. The content of the term information security varies according to the type and the requirements of the area. Secret sharing schemes are introduced to solve the problems for securing sensitive information. In this paper, we review our proposed hierarchical and compartmented ...
متن کاملMultipartite Secret Sharing Based on CRT
Secure communication has become more and more important for system security. Since avoiding the use of encryption one by one can introduce less computation complexity, secret sharing scheme (SSS) has been used to design many security protocols. In SSSs, several authors have studied multipartite access structures, in which the set of participants is divided into several parts and all participant...
متن کاملNew Results on Ideal Multipartite Secret Sharing and its Applications to Group Communications
With the rapid development of various group-oriented services, multipartite group communications occur frequently in a single network, where a multipartite access structure is defined to be a collection of the subsets of users who may come from different parts of the network such that only users in an authorized subset of users can use their shares to build up a group key for a secure group com...
متن کاملOn Representable Matroids and Ideal Secret Sharing
In secret sharing, the exact characterization of ideal access structures is a longstanding open problem. Brickell and Davenport (J. of Cryptology, 1991) proved that ideal access structures are induced by matroids. Subsequently, ideal access structures and access structures induced by matroids have attracted a lot of attention. Due to the difficulty of finding general results, the characterizati...
