Abstract
A new access structure called the Level ordered Access Structure (LoAS) is introduced in Pattipati et al. (IJ Netw Secur 18(5):874–881, 2016) and proposed a sequential secret sharing scheme that realises this access structure. This is similar to multilevel access structure but enforces ordering among levels while reconstructing the secret. In this paper, we extended a secret sharing scheme for multiple secrets to realise LoAS. The construction uses public key primitives with Lagrange interpolation. In this scheme, multiple secrets are distributed one each among the levels. The scheme uses the concepts of quadratic residues and discrete logarithm problem. Reconstruction of the secrets is such that participants of different levels find their respective level secrets only after they get their immediate higher level permission. The novelty of the scheme is that, it achieves ordering concept. Performance and security analysis of the scheme is also discussed.
