ePrint ReportIn this work we present a linear secret sharing scheme construction for ports of matroids of rank 3 in which the size of each share is at most $n$ times the size of the secret. Using the previously known secret sharing constructions, the size of each share was $O(n^2/\log n)$ the size of the secret.
Our construction is extended to ports of matroids of any rank $k\geq 2$, obtaining secret sharing schemes in which the size of each share is at most $n^{k-2}$ times the size of the secret. This work is complemented by presenting lower bounds: There exist matroid ports that require $(F_q,\ell)$-linear secret schemes with total information ratio $\Omega(2^{n/2}/\ell n^{3/4}\sqrt{\log q})$.

Job PostingAn opportunity has arisen for a 3-year postdoctoral researcher to be appointed as soon as possible. The candidate will be concerned with design and analysis of different cryptographic primitives and protocols. Examples may include lightweight identification and authentication protocols, key management protocols providing long-term security, incremental cryptographic primitives, and quantum-secure protocols based on different post-quantum primitives. Technique of formal analysis, including reductionist security and suitable symbolic analysis methods, may be used.
The candidate will work on a project entitled "Lightweight Cryptography for Future Smart Networks" funded by the Norwegian Research Council. The project will develop new primitives and protocols for lightweight cryptography fitting the needs of the two critical and strongly related future network architectures, IoT and 5G.
Postdoctoral candidates are normally remunerated from NOK 515 200 before tax per year. Completion of a doctoral degree in cryptology or network security is required.
Applicants should send an expression of interest to Colin Boyd together with a recent CV.
