Chinese Remainder Theorem-Based Secret Sharing Scheme

This paper proposes Chinese Remainder Theorem-based Secret Sharing (CRTSS) scheme, a new Multicast Key Management (MKM) scheme, which adopts the Chinese remainder theorem and Shamirs secret sharing method. With comparing and analyzing GKMP and CRTSS schemes, the results show that CRTSS scheme overcomes high rekeying cost, the defect of conventional centralized flat schemes, improves the performance. It is a new reliable centralized flat MKM scheme.
