Abstract: The security deficiency against cheating, which lies in a threshold secret sharing scheme is analyzed with the method of orthogonal projection matrix over finite field. There exists some illicit participant successfully passing the check by his forged shares and reconstructing a wrong secret without being perceived. A strict proof shows that the cheater has non-negligible advantage in above deception.

Key words: detection of cheaters, orthogonal, projection matrix, secret sharing scheme
