Simple Dynamic Threshold Decryption Based on CRT and RSA

Abstract

In the paper we present a simple threshold decryption system based on the RSA cryptosystem. Our model avoids the application of the Shamir secret sharing protocol and is based only on the Chinese reminder theorem. The flexibility in the threshold level is attained due to the suitable preparation of the input data. The second part of the article describes a modification of the basic model, which admits the sender’s impact on the choice of the real receiver’s group.
