Algebraic geometric secret sharing schemes over large fields are asymptotically threshold

Fan Peng, Hao Chen and Chang-An Zhao

Vol. 319 (2022), No. 1, 213–232
Abstract

Algebraic geometric secret sharing schemes were proposed by Chen and Cramer so that the fundamental theorem in information-theoretically secure multiparty computation can be established over constant-size base finite fields. These algebraic geometric secret sharing schemes defined by a curve of genus g over a constant-size finite field 𝔽q are quasithreshold in the following sense: any subset of u T 1 players (nonqualified) has no information of the secret and any subset of u T + 2g players (qualified) can reconstruct the secret. It is natural to ask how far from the threshold these quasithreshold secret sharing schemes are. How many subsets of u [T,T + 2g 1] players can recover the secret or have no knowledge of it?

We prove that if the size q goes to infinity and lim gq12 = 0, then almost all subsets of u [T,T + g 1] players have no information of the secret and almost all subsets of u [T + g,T + 2g 1] players can reconstruct the secret. Then algebraic geometric secret sharing schemes over large finite fields are asymptotically threshold in this case. We also analyze the case when the size  q of the base field is fixed and the genus goes to infinity.
