Abstract

This paper presents a new construction of a lattice-based verifiable secret sharing scheme. Our proposal is based on lattices and the usage of linear hash functions to enable each participant to verify its received secret share. The security of this scheme relies on the hardness of some well known approximation problems in lattices such as nc-approximate SVP. Different to protocols proposed by Pedersen this scheme uses efficient matrix vector operations instead of exponentiation to verify the secret shares.
