Create Implementing threshold schemes
A couple of weeks ago, Christopher Allen requested me to "summarize [my] post https://dsprenkels.com/sss-34c3.html" and submit it to the [RWOT8 repo][rwot8]. I have not exactly summarized my post. I have left out quite a bit. However, I have tried to include some background on the alternatives that exist to Shamir secret sharing, that actually provide some integrity protection. It would be a shame to restrict our view to *only* SSS. Abstract: Shamir secret sharing is a method to split secrets into shares, and to later recombine them. However, it does not feature integrity protection of the secret. This article elaborates on Feldman VSS and Pederson VSS, which *do* protect the message integrity. Furthermore, we show how hashing the shares also protects the message integrity, but is vulnerable to a cheating dealer.
