Verifiable Secret Sharing with Comprehensive and Efficient Public Verification

چکیده

VSS (verifiable secret sharing) is an important security protection tool in distributed systems. When VSS is employed in publicly verifiable applications, it needs to achieve public verifiability and be upgraded to PVSS (publicly verifiable secret sharing). Besides the two basic security properties, bindingness and hidingness, PVSS concentrates on public verifiability of validity all the operations in VSS so that there is no doubt about any operation and any dispute can be publicly solved. The existing PVSS schemes achieve security and public verifiability at a high cost. Moreover, their public verification operations are not defined and specified comprehensively and in complete details. In addition, most of them are vulnerable to an attack called simple plaintext attack. To overcome those drawbacks in PVSS, a new PVSS protocol is proposed in this paper. It defines public verifiability of VSS in a comprehensive and formal security model, which describes every verification operation in details and can publicly solve any dispute. All the public verification operations are efficiently implemented in the new PVSS protocol, which is more efficient than the existing PVSS schemes. It prevents simple plaintext attack in an efficient way.

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<...

New efficient and practical verifiable multi-secret sharing schemes

In 2006, Zhao et al. proposed a practical verifiable multi-secret sharing based on Yang et al.’s and Feldman’s schemes. In this paper we propose two efficient, computationally secure ðt; nÞ, and verifiable multi-secret sharing schemes based on homogeneous linear recursion. The first scheme has the advantage of better performance, a new simple construction and various techniques for the reconstr...

A Practical (Non-interactive) Publicly Verifiable Secret Sharing Scheme

A publicly verifiable secret sharing (PVSS) scheme, proposed by Stadler in [Sta96], is a VSS scheme in which anyone, not only the shareholders, can verify that the secret shares are correctly distributed. PVSS can play essential roles in the systems using VSS. Achieving simultaneously the following two features for PVSS is a challenging job: – Efficient non-interactive public verification. – Pr...
