Abstract
In this paper will be proposed a new algorithm for secure strategic information sharing using biomet-
ric information. In classic cryptographic threshold schemes used for secret splitting and sharing there
aren’t any connection between generated shares and particular participants of threshold protocol. In
fact sometimes it may be useful to generate a special personalized shadows, which allow not only
reveal the original secret information, but also to identify who is the owner of particular shares or
information shadow.
