Abstract :
In this paper, we consider the application of near-MDS codes in cryptography. Near-MDS codes have some important properties that can be used to construct secret sharing schemes. The proposed secret sharing schemes in this paper have good security properties such as cheating detection and cheaters identification when recovering the secret. In addition, the number of participants in our proposed scheme is more than previous results.
