A New PVSS Scheme with a Simple Encryption Function
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Publicly Verifiable Secret Sharing (PVSS) scheme allows anyone to verify the validity of the shares computed and distributed by a dealer. The idea of PVSS was introduced by Stadler in [18] where he presented a PVSS scheme based on Discrete Logarithm. Later, several PVSS schemes were proposed. In [2], Behnad and Eghlidos present an interesting PVSS scheme with explicit membership and disputation processes. In this paper, we present a new PVSS having the advantage of being simpler while offering the same features.

Publicly Verfiable Secret Sharing from Paillier's Cryptosystem
In this paper we propose a simple PVSS scheme based on the homomorphic properties of Paillier’s encryption scheme. This new scheme is the first known PVSS scheme based on the decisional composite residuosity assumption. The verification process in this scheme is much simpler than in the other known schemes. Furthermore, in our proposal, verification is made non-interactive without using the Fia...
متن کاملPublicly Verifiable Secret Sharing for Cloud-Based Key Management
Running the key-management service of cryptographic systems in the cloud is an attractive cost saving proposition. Supporting key-recovery is an essential component of every key-management service. We observe that to verifiably support key-recovery in a public cloud, it is essential to use publicly verifiable secret-sharing (PVSS) schemes. In addition, a holistic approach to security must be ta...
متن کاملEfficient and General PVSS Based on ElGamal Encryption
PVSS stands for publicly verifiable secret sharing. In PVSS, a dealer shares a secret among multiple share holders. He encrypts the shares using the shareholders' encryption algorithms and publicly proves that the encrypted shares are valid. Most of the existing PVSS schemes do not employ an ElGamal encryption to encrypt the shares. Instead, they usually employ other encryption algorithms like ...
متن کاملPaillier-based publicly verifiable (non-interactive) secret sharing
A publicly verifiable secret sharing (PVSS) scheme is a verifiable secret sharing (VSS) scheme in which anyone, not only the shareholders, can verify that the secret shares are correctly distributed. PVSS plays an essential role in the systems that use VSS. In this paper we present a new construction for PVSS scheme based on Paillier encryption scheme.We formalize the notion of indistinguishabi...
متن کاملArtemia: a family of provably secure authenticated encryption schemes
Authenticated encryption schemes establish both privacy and authenticity. This paper specifies a family of the dedicated authenticated encryption schemes, Artemia. It is an online nonce-based authenticated encryption scheme which supports the associated data. Artemia uses the permutation based mode, JHAE, that is provably secure in the ideal permutation model. The scheme does not require the in...
