Abstract:
A processor-based method for secret sharing in a computing system is provided. The method includes encrypting shares of a new secret, using a previous secret and distributing unencrypted shares of the new secret and the encrypted shares of the new secret, to members of the computing system. The method includes decrypting at least a subset of the encrypted shares of the new secret, using the previous secret and regenerating the new secret from at least a subset of a combination of the unencrypted shares of the new secret and the decrypted shares of the new secret.
