title = "Secret swarm unit: Reactive k-secret sharing",
abstract = "Secret sharing is a fundamental cryptographic task. Motivated by the virtual automata abstraction and swarm computing, we investigate an extension of the k-secret sharing scheme, in which the secret shares are changed on the fly, independently and without (internal) communication, as a reaction to a global external trigger. The changes are made while maintaining the requirement that k or more secret shares may reconstruct the secret and no k - 1 or fewer can do so. The application considered is a swarm of mobile processes, each maintaining a share of the secret which may change according to common outside inputs, e.g., inputs received by sensors attached to the process. The proposed schemes support addition and removal of processes from the swarm, as well as corruption of a small portion of the processes in the swarm.",

note = "Funding Information: Shlomi Dolev received his B.Sc. in Engineering and B.A. in Computer Science in 1984 and 1985, and his M.Sc. and D.Sc. in computer Science in 1990 and 1992 from the Technion Israel Institute of Technology. From 1992 to 1995 he was at Texas A&M University postdoc of Jennifer Welch. In 1995 he joined the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Ben-Gurion University where he is now an full professor. He was a visiting researcher/professor at MIT, DIMACS, and LRI, for several periods during summers. He is the author of the book “self-stabilization” published by the MIT Press. He published two hundrends journal and conference scientific articles, and patents. He served in the program committee of more than sixty conferences including: the ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing, and the International Symposium on DIStributed Computing. He is an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Computers, the AIAA Journal of Aerospace Computing, Information and Communication and a guest editor of the Distributed Computing Journal and the Theoretical Computer Science Journal. His research grants include IBM faculty awards, Intel academic grants, and the NSF. He is the founding chair of the computer science department at Ben-Gurion university, where he now holds the Rita Altura trust chair in computer science. His current research interests include distributed computing, distributed systems, security and cryptography and communication networks; in particular the self-stabilization property of such systems. Recently, he is involved in optical computing research",
