Shamir's Secret Sharing Command

pedrofracassi commented 4 years ago

Shamir's Secret Sharing is an algorithm in cryptography created by Adi Shamir. It is a form of secret sharing, where a secret is divided into parts, giving each participant its own unique part. To reconstruct the original secret, a minimum number of parts is required. In the threshold scheme this number is less than the total number of parts. Otherwise all participants are needed to reconstruct the original secret. Wikipedia

Basically we'd have a s!sss split command, which would let you split a secret into shares, and a s!sss combine command which would let you combine shares. Try it our here: http://point-at-infinity.org/ssss/demo.html
