In [this][1] paper of **Asmuth–Bloom threshold SSS**, the algorithm is as follows: **Shares Distribution** To distribute n shares of a secret $K$ among the set of participants $P = \{ p_i : 1 ≤ i ≤ n\}$, the dealer D does the following: 1) A set of integers $\{ p, m_1 < m_2 < · · · < m_n \}$, where $0 ≤ K < p$, is chosen subject to the following conditions: $\gcd(m_i , m_j)=1$ where for $i!=j$ $\gcd(p , m_i)=1$ ,for all $i$, $\prod \limits_{i=1}^{t}m_i > p \prod \limits_{i=1}^{t-1}m_{n-i+1}$ 2) Let $M =\prod \limits_{i=1}^{t}m_i$. The dealer computes $$y = K+ap$$, where a is a positive integer generated randomly subject to the condition that $0 ≤ y < M$ 3) The share of the $i^{th}$ participant,$1 ≤ i ≤ n$, is $$y_i = y~ mod ~m_i$$ **Secret Construction** Assume $C$ is a coalition of $t$ participants to construct the secret. Let $M_C =\prod \limits_{i=1}^{C}m_i$ 1) Given the system $$y \equiv y_ i \mod m_ i $$ for $i ∈ C$, solve y in $GF(M_C )$ uniquely using the CRT. 2) Compute the secret as $$K = y mod p$$ According to the CRT, y can be determined uniquely in $GF(M_ C)$ . Since $y < M ≤ M_C$ , the solution is also unique in $GF(M)$. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *How to prove formally that the number of participants **lesser than threshold number $t$ of participants** cannot get secret?* [1]: http://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/440d/fa8ab99301d4ea3a8b19c0748575915aef15.pdf
