3. Definitions and background

4. Secret-Sharing Schemes [Shamir79, Blakley79, Ito-Saito-Nishizeki87] Set of parties? = ??, ,?? and a Dealer? Access structure ? ??collection of authorized sets Example Example: ??= ? ? ? ? Dealer? holds a secret ? Creates random shares ??, ,?? Sends share ?? to party ?? Correctness Correctness: A set ? ? can compute the secret ? from its shares Security Security: A set ? ? cannot learn anything about the secret ? ? ? A set ? ? learns ? if and only if ? ? ?? ?? ?? ?1 ?? ?2

5. Share Size in Secret-Sharing Schemes This talk: 1-bit secrets ? {?,?} ?? size of share of party ?? The share sizeof a scheme is ??? ? ? ??? Main goal: Construct schemes with small share size for general access structures

6. Polynomial Secret Sharing: Motivation [Paskin-Radune20,Beimel-Othman-Peter22] A secret-sharing scheme is linear if for every ? ? the reconstruction function of the secret from the shares is linear Most known secret-sharing schemes with small share size are linear There is an ?-party access structure that requires shares of size at least ??/?[Babai-G l- Wigderson99] in every linear scheme General secret sharing schemes: Upper bound ??.????[Applebaum-Nir21] lower bound ? ?/???(?) [Csirmaz96] Questions: Can we construct efficient non-linear schemes for a broader family of access structures? Can we extend the lower bounds to a broader class of secret-sharing schemes? Obtain insight for general secret-sharing schemes General SS Polynomial SS Linear SS

7. Polynomial Secret-Sharing Schemes [Paskin-Cherniavsky-Radune20,Beimel-Othman-Peter22] Generalization of linear secret-sharing schemes to higher degrees The shares ??,??, ,?? are vectors over a field ?: ??= ??,?, ,??, ? Reminder: A set of parties ? ?, where ? = ?, reconstructs the secret from their shares using a function ???:? ? ?,? We call a secret-sharing a degree-? polynomial if for every ? ? the reconstruction function is a polynomial of degree ? (with ? variables) Example: If ? = 1, reconstruction function is linear the scheme is linear

8. Example Polynomial Secret-Sharing Scheme Two parties ? = ??,?? Access structure ? = ??,?? (?-out-of-? access structure) Randomness: ??,??,?? ? The shares: ??= ? + ??+ ??(??+??),??, ??= ??,??+ ?? The two parties together can reconstruct the secret: ?? (??+??) ??? ??,?? = ? + ??+ ??(??+ ??) ?? A polynomial of degree-?

9. Conditional Disclosure of Secrets (CDS) [Gertner-Ishai-Kushilevitz-Malkin98] ?? ,? ,? ?? ??,?,? ,? ,? A function ?: ?? ?,? ?1 ?2 ?? Each party has a private input ?? ?? ?? ?? The parties know a secret ? Goals: Correctness: If ? ??, ,?? = ?, Ref learns ? Ref Security: If ? ??, ,?? = ?, Ref learns nothing Each party sends one message Learns ? if and only if ? ??, ,?? = ? 10
