Chi Sing Chum, Xiaowen Zhang · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2009
This paper first reviews some basic properties of cryptographic hash function, secret sharing scheme, and Latin square. Then we discuss why Latin square or its critical set is a good choice for secret representation and its relationship with secret sharing scheme. Further we enumerate the limitations of Latin square in a secret sharing scheme. Finally we propose how to apply cryptographic hash functions, herding attack technique to a Latin square based secret sharing scheme to overcome these limitations.
