A threshold changeable secret sharing (TCSS) scheme is designed for changing the initial threshold pair of the privacy threshold and reconstruction threshold to a given threshold pair after the dealer distributes shares to participants, while a universal threshold changeable secret sharing (uTCSS) scheme is threshold changeable to multiple new threshold pairs. We focus on the threshold changeability in a dealer-free scenario with an outside adversary and the absence of secure channels among participants. There are some knownthreshold change regimesthat are realized by (optimal) TCSS schemes or (optimal) uTCSS schemes. In this work, by combining the frequently used two methods in previous constructions:foldingshares of a given secret sharing scheme andpackingshares of multiple secret sharing schemes, we construct an optimal TCSS scheme and an optimal uTCSS scheme with anewthreshold change regime, respectively. This helps us determine thefull threshold change rangethat can be realized by optimal TCSS schemes and optimal uTCSS schemes, respectively. Moreover, we construct some near optimal TCSS schemes to show that the full threshold change range of TCSS schemes (without requiring optimality) is completely covered by the threshold change regimes of our near optimal TCSS schemes together with the full threshold change range of optimal TCSS schemes.
