This tools might be of interest for implementors of DNSSEC,
e.g. the folks wanting to distibute control over the future Root
Zone primary Key Signing Keys between the RIRs and ICANN/IANA.

The new version should hopefully be ready for implementation.

A new version of I-D, draft-mcgrew-tss-02.txt has been successfuly
submitted by David McGrew and posted to the IETF repository.

Filename:	 draft-mcgrew-tss
Revision:	 02
Title:		 Threshold Secret Sharing
Creation_date:	 2009-03-09
WG ID:		 Independent Submission
Number_of_pages: 26

Abstract:
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.


The IETF Secretariat.
