Abstract

The secret considered is a binary string of fixed length. In the paper we propose a method of automatic secret generation and sharing. We show how to simultaneously generate and share random secret. Such a secret remains unknown until it is reconstructed. Next, we propose a method of automatic sharing of a known secret. In this case the Dealer does not know the secret and the secret's Owner does not know the shares. We discuss how to use extended capabilities in the proposed method.
