The concept of multistage secret sharing (MSS) is proposed and a general implementation of MSS schemes given. In such a scheme, many secrets are shared in such a way that all secrets can be reconstructed separately. Each share is of the same size as that of any single shared secret.

The authors propose a multisecret-sharing scheme. In such a scheme, many secrets are shared in such a way that all secrets can be reconstructed independently. Each share is of the same size as that of any single shared secret. This is an improvement on a previously proposed multistage secret-sharing scheme.
