520 _aHiding a secret is needed in many situations. One might need to hide a password, an encryption key, a secret recipe, and etc. Information can be secured with encryption, but the need to secure the secret key used for such encryption is important too. Imagine you encrypt your important files with one secret key and if such a key is lost then all the important files will be inaccessible. Thus, secure and efficient key management mechanisms are required. One of them is secret sharing scheme (SSS) that lets you split your secret into several parts and distribute them among selected parties. Secret sharing (also called secret splitting) refers to methods for distributing a secret amongst a group of participants, each of whom is allocated a share of the secret. The secret can be reconstructed only when a sufficient number, of possibly different types, of shares is combined together. This project is based on Shamir secret sharing cryptographic method. It is a form of secret sharing, where a secret is divided into parts, giving each participant its own unique part, where some of the parts or all of them are needed in order to reconstruct the secret.
