Abstract

By accepting a shared secret or shared control scheme specified by an access structure 驴, an issuing authority also implicitly accepts all of the access structures that can be realized as a result of trust relations that may exist among some of the participants in &Gamma. An algorithm is presented here that makes it possible to fully analyze the consequences of trust to such schemes.
