Abstract
A method and system distributes shares of a secret among cooperating entities using linear interpolation. In one embodiment, a linear equation is formed using the secret and random elements. The linear equation represents a K-dimensional hyperplane, where K is the number of shares to reconstruct the secret. Shares of the secrets are created, with each share corresponding to a point on the secret hyperplane. The shares are then distributed to cooperating entities for secret sharing.
