Authentication Scheme for Dynamic Group Using Threshold Cryptography (Paperback)

Secret sharing is a technique for protecting sensitive data like cryptographic keys.

This mechanism is used to distribute a secret value to a number of parties or users called shares.

The shares are given to the parities or users involved in the group.

These values have to be combined together to access the original values.

Secret sharing is used in modern cryptography algorithms to reduce the risk in information leakage.

Sharing a secret reduce the risk of compromising the value across several parties.
