Rational secret sharing [1] is the intersection of game theory [2] and traditional secret sharing [3]. In rational secret sharing, the players are selfish and always behave in accordance with profit maximization. What this implies, primarily, is that rational players prefer obtaining the secret rather than not obtaining it and, secondarily, that players prefer as few other players as possible obtaining the secret. Motivated by selfishness, rational players either keep silent or send incorrect shares during the reconstruction phase, thereby the fairness and correctness of rational secret reconstruction become difficult to achieve. For the reasons mentioned above, existing investigations have focused on devising different reconstruction protocols, in order to restrict the selfishness of rational players and succeed in achieving fairness and correctness when reconstructing secrets. However, Game theory as well as existing investigations lacks a guideline reference model that is restrictive to the selfishness of rational players. Devising rational secret reconstruction protocols has always relied on the designers’ experience. Although many interesting and ingenious rational secret reconstruction protocols have been presented in the absence of a reference model, some researchers [4–6] do point out that such protocols are likely to be inadequate in two different ways: (1) the terminal strategy profile is unfair; and (2) the obtained secret is incorrect. To address the aforementioned problems, this article introduces mechanism design [7] from the field of microeconomics, and proposes a reference model for the purpose of devising rational secret reconstruction protocols. In the proposal, the rational secret reconstruction game is formalized; then, the expected goal of this game is discussed from the designer’s perspective and with consideration to the security, correctness and fairness of rational secret sharing. Finally, the rational secret reconstruction design model is defined on the basis of mechanism design. Through this brief analysis, we indicate that the proposed model is able to assist the designer in achieving fairness and correctness, with regard to rational secret reconstruction. Rational secret reconstruction game. In the extensive form game [2], each player considers his plan of action, at any point in time, when a decision needs to be made. Therefore, to cast the execution of rational secret reconstruction protocols, we formalize the rational secret reconstruction game based on the extensive form game.
