  • Abstract
    The Internet of Things in this article is formed of security center, key escrow centers, readers and tags. Authentication use asymmetric encryption algorithm, there is a private key in the reader / tag. When the reader / tag in some special cases, it may be lost or damaged their own private key and can´t be authenticated, then the key recovery is very important. This article compares the two threshold scheme, eventually propose a key escrow program based on the Shamir threshold. Using a the shamir threshold algorithm, the private key of the reader / tag is divided into n parts and sent to key escrow centers. if you want to restore the private key, you need at least t parts. This scheme makes key management more secure and flexible.
