sss-go contains Go bindings for my Shamir secret sharing library.
This library allows users to split secret data into a number of different
shares. With the possession of some or all of these shares, the original secret
can be restored.
An example use case is a beer brewery which has a vault which contains their precious super secret recipe. The 5 board members of this brewery do not trust all the others well enough that they won't secretly break into the vault and sell the recipe to a competitor. So they split the code into 5 shares, and allow 4 shares to restore the original code. Now they are sure that the majority of the staff will know when the vault is opened, but they can still open the vault when one of the staff members is abroad or sick at home.
brew install coreutilsgit clone github.com/minias/sss-go
go build./sss-go- Remove an unintended side channel which allows a participating attacker with
access to a accurate timing channel to iteratively guess shares during the
execution of
combine_shares.
