Generalization Of Secret Sharing Scheme Using Python
Siyaram Gupta, Madhu J. Sharma · 2014
Sometimes it is important for the owner of the information to secure it from unauthorized parties. There are many applications such as medical image security, EPR hiding (1) and records that must need to be shared or distributed among a group of participants. Secret Sharing scheme proposed by Adi Shamir in 1979 (2) meets these requirements. According to his well-known (k, n) threshold scheme at-least k participant must gather to regenerate the secret. The scheme proposed by Shamir is based on Lagrange interpolation polynomial, we use polynomial to construct shares for participants (3). His scheme ensures both confidentiality and integrity of information. This scheme is useful and implementable in many aspects. Many scholars use this scheme to hide or secure the information and secrets. We are implementing the secret sharing scheme using Python. Python is a user-friendly and open source language. It is easy to generate and use polynomial using python.
