✦ Synopsis

In this work, a renewable, multi-use, multi-secret sharing scheme for general access structure based on the one-way collision resistant hash function is presented in which each participant has to carry only one share. As it applies the collision resistant oneway hash function, the proposed scheme is secure against conspiracy attacks even if the pseudo-secret shares are compromised. Moreover, high complexity operations like modular multiplication, exponentiation and inversion are avoided to increase its efficiency. Finally, in the proposed scheme, both the combiner and the participants can verify the correctness of the information exchanged among themselves.
