Securely share secrets.
hlin
's cryptographic protocol works on a higher level as follows:
The encrypted secret is made up of the symmetric ciphertext, a public share and # of participants encrypted private shares.
When decrypting the following happens:
Both operations can be successfully performed without exchanging any data with
another participant, when the chosen treshold is 2. For thresholds larger than
2, n
(threshold - 2
) additional participants need to decrypt their share
and encrypt it with the participant wanting access to the plaintext.
The current state allows all of the above except for the last paragraph, as a secure way communication is required for it.
This software is highly experimental and at this point is in no way intended to be used in a production environment or for sensitive data.
