Abstract

In this paper will be proposed a new algorithm for secure strategic information sharing using biometric

information. In classic cryptographic threshold schemes used for secret splitting and sharing there

aren’t any connection between generated shares and particular participants of threshold protocol. In

fact sometimes it may be useful to generate a special personalized shadows, which allow not only

reveal the original secret information, but also to identify who is the owner of particular shares or

information shadow.

Keywords: bio-cryptography, security of distributed information, personal identification processes,

information sharing
