A Simple Publicly Verifiable Secret Sharing Scheme and Its Application to Electronic

How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Ekiden: A Platform for Confidentiality-Preserving, Trustworthy, and Performant Smart Contracts (2018, positive): “In future extensions, we are pursuing key management strategies under stronger threat models, using techniques such as secret sharing [36, 77].”
Proactively Accountable Anonymous Messaging in Verdict (2012, methodology): “Before the protocol run, every server uses a publicly verifiable secret sharing scheme [43], to distribute shares of its per-session secret key.”
Ouroboros: A Provably Secure Proof-of-Stake Blockchain Protocol (2017, methodology): “6 and uses a publicly verifiable secret sharing (PVSS) [26] (we defer to the full version the full description of the scheme).”
Scalable Bias-Resistant Distributed Randomness (2017, methodology): “A publicly verifiable secret sharing (PVSS) [52], [56] scheme makes it possible for any party to verify secret-shares without revealing any information about the shares or the secret.”
OmniLedger: A Secure, Scale-Out, Decentralized Ledger via Sharding (2018, methodology): “To produce randomness, RandHound splits the group of servers into smaller ones and creates a publicly verifiable commit-then-reveal protocol [43] that employs the pigeonhole principle to prove that the final random number includes the contribution of at least one honest participant, thus perfectly r”
