Threshold Cryptography

In a threshold public key encryption scheme, the secret (decryption) key is split into a number of secret shares, and distributed to independent servers, so that any $t$ shares can be used for decryption, but ciphertexts retain security against any collusion of $t-1$ servers, holding less that $t$ shares.

Lattice-based threshold encryption schemes were first considered by Bendling and Damgard.

1. Threshold Decryption and Zero-Knowledge Proofs for Lattice-Based Cryptosystems
   (Bendlin & Damgard - TCC 2010)

The notion of threshold public key encryption extends to homomorphic encryption schemes, and has applications to multiparty computation, e.g., see (2) and (3). Techniques for sharing lattice trapdoors and add threshold features to general cryptographic primitives are explored in (4) and (5)
