....of the basic issue in the area of secret sharing schemes is that of estimating the information rate of the scheme, that is, the ratio between the size of the secret and that of the largest share given to any participant. This problem has received considerable attention in the last few years (e.g. [1, 5, 4, 10, 11, 13, 14, 22]) The practical relevance of this issue is based on the following observations: Firstly, the security of any system tends to degrade as the amount of information that must be kept secret, i.e. the shares of the participants, increases. Secondly, if the shares given to participants are too long, ....
....Therefore, it is important to derive significative upper and lower bounds on the information rate of secret sharing schemes. The main tool to prove upper bounds on the information rate of secret sharing schemes is the information theoretic approach introduced in [11] and further developed in [4, 5, 13, 14] 1 . However, the different results obtained so far seems to have used rather ad hoc proof techniques, limiting themselves to exhibit a particular access structure with small information rate. Therefore, it lacks a clear understanding of what makes an access structure to have necessarily small ....

....graph based access structure on n participants whose average information rate is upper bounded by 2= log n. It is proved in [44, Theorem 5.2] that the information rate for a graph on n vertices and maximum degree d is at least 2= d 1) This improves Theorems 4.2 and 4.3 for connected graphs. In [13] a construction technique is proposed to produce classes of access structures with information rate bounded away from 1. Finally, we mention that in the paper [11] it has been proved that if a secret sharing scheme Sigma for the access strucure A is perfect when one assumes a given probability ....
