Contemplating Audio Secret Sharing Schemes

Abstract: The methodology of secret sharing involves the ownership of the key by the dealer which would give access to the original secret that has been divided into shares. This concept has been applied similarly onto an audio message that has to be conveyed over a network. The Audio Data is divided into multiple shares which would be collated later on in order to get the original audio message. The failure to meet the condition would render the entire message useless that is to say that all the shares are essential for the reconstruction of the original audio message. The intent of this paper is to study and analyse the audio secret sharing schemes. The comparative analysis of different audio secret sharing schemes that have been proposed in the past has been put forth.
