Secret sharing is a cryptographic primitive, which is used to distribute a secret among a set
of participants in such a way that an authorised subset of participants can uniquely …

A method in which a secret is distributed among the users and a predefined number of users
collaborate to reconstruct the secret is known as a secret sharing scheme. In this article, we …

Secret sharing is a process that allows storing secret information in a distributed manner
among several participants. In the original setting of secret sharing schemes, it was …

Two compartmented secret sharing schemes are proposed in this paper. Constructions of
the proposed schemes are based on the maximum distance separable (MDS) codes. One of …

Secret sharing is a general method for distributing sensitive data among the participants of a
system such that only a collection of predefined qualified coalitions can recover the secret …

A q-ary linear [n, k, n− k−(i− 1)] code ℒ is known as A i MDS code. If d= n− k+ 1, the code is
called a maximum distance separable code. MDS codes are known to be useful in the secret …

Threshold access structures of secret sharing schemes capture a scenario in which all the
participants have the same weight (or power) and their contributions are equal. However, in …

In this paper, for the first time, we propose a new explicit hierarchical threshold secret
sharing (HTSS) scheme based on the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) for polynomial …

Abstract Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is an important tool for securing information in the
communication. Presently, a PKI framework demonstrates a pattern toward an emerging …

A secret sharing scheme is a powerful tool for protecting sensitive data with applications in
access control, key management schemes, blockchains, etc. A generalised secret sharing …
