A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Threshold Secret Sharing Author(s) : D. McGrew, et al. Filename : draft-mcgrew-tss-02.txt Pages : 26 Date : 2009-03-09 Threshold secret sharing (TSS) provides a way to generate N shares from a value, so that any M of those shares can be used to reconstruct the original value, but any M-1 shares provide no information about that value. This method can provide shared access control on key material and other secrets that must be strongly protected. This note defines a threshold secret sharing method based on polynomial interpolation in GF(256) and a format for the storage and transmission of shares. It also provides usage guidance, describes how to test an implementation, and supplies test cases.
