VSPACE: A New Secret Sharing Scheme Using Vector Space

In this paper, a new secret sharing scheme utilizing the vector space is proposed. Initially, the basis vectors of each character of the secret are found on the basis of a random partition value, N. Next, the basis vectors of each partition are distributed in separate files and kept well distributed throughout the network. Only an authenticated person who knows the location of the shares can collect all the shares, distributed throughout the network, remove the redundancy and take original basis vectors to reconstruct the actual secret. The scheme is well secured against Brute Force attacks and partial discloser problem. Malicious behaviors are restricted by assigning dummy shares as long as they are not trustworthy.
