Cheating Resistance for Secret Sharing

Abstract

In this paper we propose a notion, the (t, n)-threshold agreement certificate. The (t, n)-threshold agreement certificates of a secret are also shadows derived from the original secret using a different access structure. Based on these certificates, we present a (t, n)-threshold secret sharing scheme which can resist participants’ cheating. That is, any participant’s cheating would not work in the proposed scheme provided that the assumptions in the paper are true. This electronic document is a “live” template.
