Unclonable Secret Keys
<p>We propose a novel concept of securing cryptographic keys which we call “Unclonable Secret Keys,” where any cryptographic object is modified so that its secret key is an unclonable quantum bit-string whereas all other parameters such as messages, public keys, ciphertexts, signatures, etc., …

Rational secret sharing
Recent work has attempted to bridge the fields of Cryptography and Game Theory in order to create more robust protocols that allow for a variety of player types. A keystone functionality used in cryptography is Secret Sharing. While there are several well known, efficient protocols that implement …

Breaking barriers in secret sharing
In this thesis, we study secret sharing schemes for general (non-threshold) access functions. In a secret sharing scheme for n parties associated to a monotone function [mathematical formula], a dealer distributes shares of a secret among n parties. Any subset of parties [mathematical formula] can …

This monograph studies the theory of information through the multiuser secret key agreement problem. A general notion of mutual dependence is established for the secrecy capacity, as a natural generalization of Shannon's mutual information to the multivariate case. Under linear-type source models, …

Classification of Ideal Secret Sharing Schemes
Secret sharing schemes were introduced independently by Shamir and Blakley in 1979 and are now widely used in many cryptographic protocols. They are ideal for storing information that is highly sensitive and highly important. In a secret sharing scheme, each user is given a piece of information …

A study of efficient secret sharing
… show a general connection between various types of statistical zero-knowledge (SZK) proof systems and (unconditionally secure) secret sharing schemes. Viewed through the SZK lens, we obtain several new results on secret-sharing: " Characterizations: We obtain an almost-characterization of access …

Secret sharing schemes are needed to store and protect secrets in large scale distributed systems. These schemes protect a secret by dividing the it into shares and distributing the shares to multiple shareholders. This way the compromise of a single shareholder does not reveal the secret. Many new …
