Isn't it the other way around? Most salted hash implementations share the salt by embedding it in the hash. It's pepper that isn't shared.

After rereading, I suspect by 'shared' you meant 'non unique' rather than 'public'?

Why would ‘shared’ mean ‘public’? And in most password hashing contexts the salt and hash are not ‘public’ either.
