Bivariate Proximity Test-Based Asynchronous Verifiable Secret Sharing

Abstract

We present an Asynchronous Verifiable Secret Sharing (AVSS) protocol leveraging Interactive Oracle Proofs of Proximity (IOPPs). By integrating an IOPP to the product of Reed-Solomon codes i.e., to bivariate polynomials, we achieve strong agreement properties while maintaining efficiency: our scheme achieves a total communication complexity of O(n2) for the dealer and O(nlog2(n)) per party, and a computational complexity of only O(nlog(n)) per party. It provides optimal resilience i.e., is secure against up to t<n/3 corrupted parties. Furthermore, our construction is resistant against post-quantum adversaries, as its security relies solely on the security of the underlying hash functions.
