The dealer is one of n participants or it should be from outside? The dealer, knows the secret as he's the one who shared it. Thereby it makes no sense to give him a share as well, unless you have a such a scheme that requires all partys to collaborate to recover the image, but then the question becomes: "Why bother secret sharing at all if the dealer ...

Yes, preprocessing Beaver triples in an offline phase leads to a faster online phase. The online phase of an AND gate requires just two openings plus local computations. But there are other advantages as well. Define a "linear representation" $[x]$ to be any way of representing/distributing a value $x$ among parties such that the following properties hold: ...

There is one theoretical difference between Shamir's scheme and Asmuth and Bloom's scheme. Shamir can be done in an informationally secure manner; specifically, if the nonconstant polynomial coefficients were chosen in a random manner (that is, from a uniform probability distribution that's uncorrelated to anything else the attacker can see), then someone ...

Shamir's scheme is the most widely used scheme in such things as multi-party computation, threshold cryptography and oblivious transfer. Honestly I don't really know of any real everyday use of secret sharing based on CRT. As Artjom said Asmuth and Bloom's scheme takes some time to setup. The dealer must choose pairwise relatively prime integers \$m_0 < ...
