Secret-sharing schemes based on self-dual codes
Steven T. Dougherty, Sihem Mesnager, Patrick Solé · 2008
Secret sharing is an important topic in cryptography and has applications in information security. We use self-dual codes to construct secret-sharing schemes. We use combinatorial properties and invariant theory to understand the access structure of these secret-sharing schemes. We describe two techniques to determine the access structure of the scheme, the first arising from design properties in codes and the second from the Jacobi weight enumerator, and invariant theory.
