Among numerous cryptographic solutions proposed in the past few years, secret sharing schemes have been found sufficiently secure to facilitate distributed trust and shared control in various communication applications.
Introduction
Digital rights management systems are used to protect intellectual property rights of Digital media itself or secure its transmission over untrusted communication channels [1–3]. The required protection is achieved by employing either cryptography or Steganography. Steganography hides the secret message inside a cover signal producing its stego-version with an imperceivable difference from the original cover, whereas Cryptography alters the meaningless of the secret message through its encryption Necessitating the use of a decryption key to recover the original content.
Among numerous cryptographic solutions proposed in the past few years, secret sharing schemes have been found sufficiently secure to...
