Share is a portion of information distributed by a secret sharing scheme (SSS) to a given user. In the standard definition of SSS, shares are distributed via secure, private channels in such a way that each participant only knows his own share [1, 2]. We note that it is also possible to organize SSS in case of public channels [3].
