Secure message communication via a relay using a secret sharing scheme
Abstract
Secure message communication between the transmitter and the receiver checks
integrity. It involves preserving the message content against unauthorized access. The
designed application uses a shamir secret sharing scheme, where a message can be split into
shares. And the transmitter distributes each share to the receiver to reconstruct the
message through the relays. In this process, the adversary might attack any of the relays to
modify the share information and tries to obtain the original message. Where each share is
produced by adding additional information to it also providing the identification protocol
at the reconstruction phase to ensure the message integrity. At last, the receiver will
perform an identification protocol to identify the authentic shares, if the shares are verified
as authentic then the receiver will perform a reconstruction protocol to reconstruct the
message.
