dc.descriptionAt the beginning some results from the field of graph theory are presented. Next we show how to share a secret that is proper n-coloring of the graph, with the known structure. The graph is described and converted to the form, where colors assigned to vertices form the number with entries from Zn. A secret sharing scheme (SSS) for the graph coloring is proposed. The proposed method is applied to the public-key cryptosystem called "Polly Cracker". In this case the graph structure is a public key, while proper 3-colouring of the graph is a private key. We show how to share the private key. Sharing particular n-coloring (color-to-vertex assignment) for the known-structure graph is presented next.
