Abstract

Sharing a secret that can later be revoked. A client sends data to a server that makes the data available to other clients. The data is shared generically without specifically identifying the client. The data can be considered quasi-secret data or data that is secret except for the anonymous sharing of the data. The client can later make the shared data private again by changing or deleting the sharing of the data.
