New generalized secret-sharing schemes with points on a hyperplane using a Wronskian matrix

Weston Loucks and Bahattin Yildiz

Vol. 13 (2020), No. 2, 257–279
Abstract

A new secret-sharing scheme is constructed using elementary tools from different fields of mathematics. A method is introduced which uses the assignment of points on a hyperplane, serving as terminal points of vectors which meet an outlined criterion for linear independence. Submatrices of a Wronskian matrix are used in the assignment of these points. This method is also generalized to include a weighted scheme and a multilevel hierarchical model.
