Frontiers in Mathematical Methods of Secret Sharing and Applied Cryptography
This special issue belongs to the section "C2: Dynamical Systems".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Secret sharing encrypts secret information into shadows. For the reconstruction of this information, participants in the qualified set can decrypt the secret data, while participants in the nonqualified set have no information about the secret. Based on a beautiful property known as "threshold", secret sharing has received increasing attention from the research community due to its usefulness in multiparty secure computing, access control, and blockchain distributive storage. Although secret sharing has wide applications, its mathematical model for feature construction is widely criticised, which restricts its potential. In this Special Issue, we want to explore frontiers in the mathematical methods and applications of secret sharing and applied cryptography.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
