Using The Chinese Remainder Theorem
The Chinese Remainder Theorem can also be used in secret sharing, for it provides us with a method to uniquely determine a number S modulo k many relatively prime integers, given that . There are two secret sharing schemes that make use of the Chinese Remainder Theorem, Mignotte's and Asmuth-Bloom's Schemes. They are threshold secret sharing schemes, in which the shares are generated by reduction modulo the integers, and the secret is recovered by essentially solving the system of congruences using the Chinese Remainder Theorem.

Famous quotes containing the words remainder and/or theorem:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
