While I was studying protocols for distributed key generation with malicious adversaries, Gennaro et al.$^{[1]}$ pointed out that the protocols that provide both secrecy and robustness should have a threshold lower than $\dfrac{n}{2}$. However, I do not see how the robustness of the scheme can compromise the secrecy of the protocol in the case of a threshold higher than $\dfrac{n}{2}$.

Does someone have an explanation for this?
