Abstract

Secret sharing schemes are widely used to protect data by breaking the secret into pieces and sharing them amongst various members of a party. In this paper, our objective is to produce a repairable ramp scheme that allows for the retrieval of a share through a collection of members in the event of its loss. Repairable Threshold Schemes (RTSs) can be used in cloud storage and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) protocols. Secure and energy-efficient data transfer in sensor-based IoTs is built using ramp-type schemes. Protecting personal privacy and reinforcing the security of electronic identification (eID) cards can be achieved using similar schemes. Desmedt et al. introduced the concept of frameproofness in 2021, which motivated us to further improve our construction with respect to this framework. We introduce a graph theoretic approach to the design for a well-rounded and easy presentation of the idea and clarity of our results. We also highlight the importance of secret sharing schemes for IoT applications, as they distribute the secret amongst several devices. Secret sharing schemes offer superior security in lightweight IoT compared to symmetric key encryption or AE schemes because they do not disclose the entire secret to a single device, but rather distribute it among several devices.
