## A verifiable multi-secret sharing scheme based on cellular automata.(English)Zbl 1193.94070

Summary: We propose a verifiable $$(t, n)$$-threshold multi-secret sharing scheme, based on one-dimensional cellular automata where the number of secrets is not restricted by $$n$$ or $$t$$. We show that our scheme can be used to solve an open problem proposed recently by G. Alvarez, L. Hernández Encinas and A. Martín del Rey [Inf. Sci. 178, No. 22, 4382–4395 (2008; Zbl 1231.94058)].
