  In the paper we propose general framework for Automatic Secret Generation and
Sharing (ASGS) that should be independent of underlying secret sharing scheme.
ASGS allows to prevent the dealer from knowing the secret or even to eliminate
him at all. Two situations are discussed. First concerns simultaneous
generation and sharing of the random, prior nonexistent secret. Such a secret
remains unknown until it is reconstructed. Next, we propose the framework for
automatic sharing of a known secret. In this case the dealer does not know the
secret and the secret owner does not know the shares. We present opportunities
for joining ASGS with other extended capabilities, with special emphasize on
PVSS and proactive secret sharing. Finally, we illustrate framework with
practical implementation.
