摘要:Secret Sharing Schemes (SSS) refers to method for distributing a secret amongst a group of participants, each of whom is allocated a share of the secret. The secret can be reconstructed only when a sufficient number of shares are combined together; individual shares are of no use on their own. Secret sharing has been an active research field for many years by mathematicians as object of intrinsic interest in their own right, cryptographers as important cryptographic primitives and security engineers as technique to employ in distributed security applications. In many circumstances, secret sharing has to provide more flexibility and functionality as per the need of an application. The intent of this paper is analyzing relation in application semantics and extended capabilities such as general access structure, verifiability of shares, cheater identification, enroll and dis-enroll of shareholders, recover lost or corrupted shares and periodically renew shares.
