A Novel (t,n)‎ Secret Sharing Scheme Based upon Euler’s Theorem

Abstract EN

The t,n secret sharing scheme is used to protect the privacy of information by distribution.

More specifically, a dealer splits a secret into n shares and distributes them privately to n participants, in such a way that any t or more participants can reconstruct the secret, but no group of fewer than t participants who cooperate can determine it.

Many schemes in literature are based on the polynomial interpolation or the Chinese remainder theorem.

In this paper, we propose a new solution to the system of congruences different from Chinese remainder theorem and propose a new scheme for t,n secret sharing; its secret reconstruction is based upon Euler’s theorem.

Furthermore, our generalized conclusion allows the dealer to refresh the shared secret without changing the original share of the participants.
