Title:
Optimal Updating of Ideal Threshold Schemes

Authors: S. G. Barwick, W. -A. Jackson, K. M. Martin, C. M. O'Keefe

Abstract:

We consider the problem of changing the parameters of an established ideal (k,n)-threshold scheme without the use of secure channels. We identify the parameters (k',n') to which such a scheme can be updated by means of a broadcast message and then prove a lower bound on the size of the relevant broadcast. The tightness of this bound is demonstrated by describing an optimal procedure for updating the parameters of an ideal scheme.
