Secret sharing is one of the most important cryptographic protocols. Secret sharing schemes (SSS) have been created to that end. This protocol requires a dealer and several participants. The dealer divides the secret into several pieces ( the shares), and one share is given to each participant. The secret can be recovered once a subset of the participants (a coalition) shares their information. In this paper, we present a new multisecret-sharing scheme inspired by Blakley’s method based on hyperplanes intersection but adapted to a coding theoretic situation. Unique recovery requires the use of linear complementary (LCD) codes, that is, codes in which intersection with their duals is trivial. For a given code length and dimension, our system allows dealing with larger secrets and more users than other code-based schemes.

In this paper, we examine a secret sharing scheme based on polynomials over finite fields. In the presented scheme, the shares can be used for the reconstruction of the secret using polynomial multiplication. This scheme is both ideal and perfect.

Blockchain is a method of recording information that makes it not feasible for the system to be replaced, attacked, or manipulated. A blockchain is equipped with a notebook that copies and processes the various procedures across the network of computers participating in the blockchain. Digital signature algorithm is one of the cryptographic protocols used by the blockchain. In this work, we introduce a new digital signature scheme based on error correcting codes. In the scheme constructed on a [n, k, d]− code over 𝔽q, which is d ≥ 2t + 1, and the size of the signature length is n − k. The signature verification is based on the bounded distance decoding of the code. Since the verification space is 𝔽qn, the proposed scheme has an improved performance in terms of working in a wider space.

Error-correcting codes are used to correct errors when messages are transmitted through a noisy communication channel. Bounded distance decoding (i.e. decoding up to the error-correcting capacity) is a method of correcting errors that guarantees unique decoding. Secret sharing is a cryptographic protocol that allows a secret known from a person called the dealer to be distributed to n participants. No single participant knows the secret but some special subsets of participants called coalitions can. In this paper, we present a multisecret-sharing scheme based on an error-correcting code where secret reconstruction is made by using bounded distance decoding of the code. This scheme is ideal in the sense that the size of each secret equals the size of any share. Its security improves on that of multisecret-sharing schemes.

A secret sharing scheme is a method of assigning shares for a secret to some participants such that only some distinguished subsets of these subsets can recover the secret while other subsets cannot. Such schemes can be used for sharing a private key, for digital signatures or sharing the key that can be used to decrypt the content of a file. There are many methods for secret sharing. One of them was developed by Blakley. In this work, we construct a multisecret-sharing scheme over finite fields. The reconstruction algorithm is based on Blakley’s method. We determine the access structure and obtain a perfect and ideal scheme.
