An efficient implementation of the Shamir secret sharing scheme (2108.05982v1)
Published 12 Aug 2021 in cs.IT, cs.CR, and math.IT
Abstract: The Shamir secret sharing scheme requires a Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) code, and in its most common implementation, a Reed-Solomon (RS) code is used. In this paper, we observe that the encoding procedure can be made simpler and faster by dropping the MDS condition and specifying the possible symbols that can be shared. In particular, the process can be made even faster by using array codes based on XOR operations instead of RS codes.
