Compartmented Threshold RSA Based on the Chinese Remainder Theorem

Sorin Iftene and Stefan Ciobaca and Manuela Grindei

Abstract: In this paper we combine the compartmented secret sharing schemes based on the Chinese remainder theorem with the RSA scheme in order to obtain, as a novelty, a dedicated solution for compartmented threshold decryption or compartmented threshold digital signature generation.
