What is Threshold Cryptography

Chapter 427
Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, Fourth Edition
Security operations such as encryption, decryption, signature generation and verification can be performed by a group of processes without reconstructing the shared secret. Threshold cryptography utilizes (k, n) threshold schemes internally.

Abstract
We believe that the research and development of intrusion tolerant systems will gain more momentum as more and more services are offered online. The expectation of such services is high, considering their essential roles in everyday operations of businesses and individuals as well. The impact of service unavailability and security breaches will only be more serious. In this chapter, we will survey the state of the art techniques for building intrusion tolerant systems. We will also illustrate a few most urgent open issues for future research. Finally, we point out that to build secure and dependable systems, we need a concerted effort in intrusion prevention, intrusion detection, and intrusion tolerance.
