A Proactive Secret Sharing Scheme in Matrix Projection Using Visual Cryptography
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Biometrics deal with automated methods of identifying a person or verifying the identity of a person based on physiological or behavioral characteristics. Visual cryptography is a secret sharing scheme where a secret image is encrypted into the shares which independently disclose no information about the original secret image. Thus, visual cryptography provides great means for helping such security needs as well as extra layer of authentication. Proactive Secret Sharing (PSS) scheme is a method to periodically renew n secret shares in a (k, n) threshold-based Secret Sharing Scheme (SSS) without modifying the secret, or reconstructing the secret to reproduce new shares. In this research integrated Proactive Bai’s Secret Sharing Scheme using matrix projection. This paper presents a distributed PSS method for the matrix projection SSS. Once the new shares are updated, adversaries cannot discover the secrets from k shares which are mixed with past and present shares.
