Verifiable Secret Redistribution for Threshold Sharing Schemes
ثبت نشده
چکیده
We present a new protocol for the verifiable redistribution of secrets from (m,n) to (m,n) access structures for threshold sharing schemes. Our protocol enables the addition or removal of shareholders and also guards against mobile adversaries that cause permanent damage. We observe that existing protocols either cannot be readily extended to allow redistribution between different access structures, or have vulnerabilities that allow faulty old shareholders to corrupt the shares of new shareholders. Our primary contribution is that, in our protocol, new shareholders can verify the validity of their shares after redistribution between different access structures.

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 کاملEfficient Secret Sharing Schemes Based on Unauthorized Subsets
We propose efficient secret sharing schemes realizing general access structures. Our proposed schemes are perfect secret sharing schemes and include Shamir’s (k, n)-threshold schemes as a special case. Furthermore, we show that a verifiable secret sharing scheme for general access structures is realized by one of the proposed schemes. key words: (k, n)-threshold scheme, general access structure...

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 کاملVerifiable Secret Redistribution for Archive Systems
We present a new verifiable secret redistribution protocol for threshold sharing schemes that forms a key component of a proposed archival storage system. Our protocol supports redistribution from (m,n) to (m,n) threshold sharing schemes without requiring reconstruction of the original data. The design is motivated by archive systems for which the added security of threshold sharing of data mus...
