Overview

Shamir's secret sharing (SSS) is an efficient secret sharing algorithm for distributing private information (the "secret") among a group. The secret cannot be revealed unless a quorum of the group acts together to pool their knowledge.

To achieve this, the secret is mathematically divided into parts (the "shares") from which the secret can be reassembled only when a sufficient number of shares are combined. SSS has the property of information-theoretic security, meaning that even if an attacker steals some shares, it is impossible for the attacker to reconstruct the secret unless they have stolen the quorum number of shares.

Installation

sh pip install wolfsoftware.shamir-secret-sharing

Command Line Usage

```sh usage: shamir-secret-sharing [-h] [-V] [-s SHARES] [-t THRESHOLD] -o

Shamir's Secret Sharing CLI

flags: -h, --help Show this help message and exit -V, --version Show program's version number and exit.

optional: -s SHARES, --shares SHARES Total number of shares to create (default: None) -t THRESHOLD, --threshold THRESHOLD Threshold number of shares needed to reconstruct the secret (default: None) -o, --output Output shares to screen instead of writing to files (default: False)

required: -c CREATE, --create CREATE The secret to share or the file containing the secret (default: None) -r SHARE [SHARE ...], --reconstruct SHARE [SHARE ...] List of shares in the form "x,y" or file paths ending with .txt (default: None) ```

Creating Shares

sh shamir-secret-sharing -c "mysupersecretpassword" -s 5 -t 3

Reconstructing the Secret

sh shamir-secret-sharing -r share-1.txt share-3.txt share-5.txt

Limitations

Secrets are limited to a max size of 4096 bytes. If you have a secret which is larger than that, then we recommend you split it into 4K blocks and then use this tool per block, and when you reconstruct the file parts then you can simply reconstruct the original file from there.

Splitting Large files

sh split -b 4096 original_file block_

Reconstructing the File from 4K Blocks

sh cat block_* > reconstructed_file
