Efficient threshold function secret sharing with information-theoretic security by Luo, Jinglong, Zhang, Liang Feng, Lin, Fuchun, Lin, Changlu

“…Specifically, a (t, n)-TFSS scheme with communication complexity O(l) is designed in this paper and it is better than the existing FSS schemes with lowest communication complexity O(λl), where λ is the length of pseudo-random generator's seeds. In addition, the (t, n)-TFSS have an extra robustness property in the sense that even if up to (n - t) function shares are not available, the protocol still computes the function value at a given point correctly.…”
