Secret Sharing: What is it and why should you care?

Abstract: Secret sharing is a fundamental task in cryptography. Its goal is to share a particular piece of information, the secret, among a group such that only authorized groups of parties can recover the secret while unauthorized groups learn no information. Every secret sharing scheme is equivalent to an error correcting code that can correct specific types of erasures. We review existing error correction results from the perspective of secret sharing. Finally, we introduce a new secret sharing variant and discuss preliminary examples. 

I will also briefly speak about my experience writing for IQUIST and how you can get involved starting next semester!

Student Bio: Sarah Hagen is a 4th year physics graduate student researching theoretical quantum cryptography under Eric Chitambar.
