Abstract

Asynchronous Verifiable Secret Sharing (AVSS) is a fundamental primitive in secure distributed computing. It finds significant application in problems like asynchronous Byzantine Agreement (ABA) and Asynchronous Multiparty Computation (AMPC). In [4], we presented a new asynchronous primitive called Asynchronous Weak Commitment (AWC) and used it to construct an AVSS scheme, which is thus far the most communication efficient AVSS scheme. Through this brief announcement, we wish to make our result visible to the Distributed Computing community.
