Abstract

A non-perfect secret sharing scheme called MIX-SPLIT is a substitution cipher created by mixing two statistically similar binary sequences (secrets) through a codebook. At the heart of the algorithm are the hidden partitions which define the identity of the shares generated. By imposing certain constraints on the codebook these partitions can be made invisible, opening up the possibility of constructing traceable pseudonyms which are inherently frameproof. These codes by virtue of their parental dependency (inheritance) can be applied towards both content authentication as well as tracking.
