Abstract. Secret sharing schemes (SSS) deal with activities relative to the secure distribution of a secret among a group of participants who then securely reconstruct the secret by collecting the shares which are held by individuals in qualified sets. A multi-secret sharing scheme (MSSS) is an extension of this where multiple secrets are shared simultaneously and where the performance is estimated using both the maximum improvement and average improvement ratios. In 2003, Crescenzo calculated a lower bound of maximum and average improvement ratios for a MSSS and proposed some special MSSS which achieve the lower bound of the maximum improvement ratio. Wang and Juan deployed a more flexible MSSS to achieve the optimal maxi-mum improvement ratio 2006. This paper provides evidence such that the optimal maximum improvement ratio and the optimal average improvement ratio may both be achieved through even simpler and more flexible MSSS through even simpler and more flexible multi-secret sharing schemes for any arbitrary n and m.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
