PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
ssss: ssss (Shamir's secret sharing scheme implementation)
ssss:
ssss: Implementation of Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme. The program
ssss: suite does both: the generation of shares for a known secret,
ssss: and the reconstruction of a secret using user-provided shares.
ssss:
ssss: In cryptography, a secret sharing scheme is a method for
ssss: distributing a secret amongst a group of participants, each
ssss: of which is allocated a share of the secret. The secret can
ssss: only be reconstructed when the shares are combined together;
ssss: individual shares are of no use on their own.
