Abstract:
The problem of developing the mathematical foundations of modular secret sharing in the special linear group over the ring of polynomials in one variable over the finite Galois field with $p$ elements is being solved. Secret sharing schemes should meet a large number of requirements: perfectness and ideality of a scheme, possibility of verification, changing a threshold without participation of a dealer, implementation of a non-threshold access structure and some others. Every secret sharing scheme developed to date does not fully satisfy all these requirements. The development of a scheme on a new mathematical basis is intended to expand the list of these configurations, thereby creating more possibilities for a user to choose the optimal option. A fundamental domain with respect to the action of the main congruence subgroup by right shifts in the special linear group of dimension 2 over the ring of polynomials is constructed. On this basis, methods for modular threshold secret sharing and its reconstruction are proposed.
Keywords:a special linear group, a congruence subgroup, a fundamental domain, modular secret sharing, a threshold access structure.
