具有前摄能力的可公开验证秘密共享

可公开验证秘密共享是一种特殊的秘密共享,由分发者分发的秘密份额不仅能被份额持有者自己验证,而且可以被其他任何成员验证.然而,对于一般的可公开验证秘密共享,敌手可能使用很长的时间才能攻破门限个份额服务器,获得秘密.为了解决这个问题,提出了第一个具有前摄能力的可公开验证的秘密共享方案,该方案不仅能够公开验证份额的正确性,而且具有份额定期更新的性质,比其它一般可公开验证秘密共享方案更安全,能够更好地满足各种应用的安全需求.

Publicly Verifiable Secret Sharing Scheme with Proactive Ability

A publicly verifiable secret sharing(PVSS) scheme is a special secret sharing scheme in which the shares distributed by the dealer can be verified not only by shareholders themselves but also by any other party. However, in a normal publicly verifiable secret sharing scheme, an adversary may get the secret by attacking threshold shareholder servers for a long time. In order to deal with this problem, a publicly verifiable secret sharing scheme with proactive ability was newly proposed, which not only can publicly verify the validity of shares, but also has the property of periodically renewing shares. This makes the proposed scheme more secure than other common publicly verifiable secret sharing schemes, and makes it better satisfy security demand of various applications.
