Generalized Access Structure (Benaloh Leichter) Secret Sharing

mr-ma edited this page Oct 4, 2016 · 1 revision

Benaloh and Leichter in \cite{benaloh1990generalized} introduced a different approach for secret sharing using a fully customizable access structure. In their scheme, the sets of players who receive the shares and later reconstruct the secret can be explicitly defined. These manually defined sets, so-called qualified subsets form an access structure. Obviously, this scheme can handle more complex business use cases.
