Shamir's Secret Sharing Service
====================================================
That's nice, but what is it?
----------------------------
This is a fork of the glite-security-ssss code at tag (version) 1.0.1
-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir%27s_Secret_Sharing
Maintainer:
Oscar Koeroo <okoeroo@gmail.com>
Wiki (with Howto):
https://github.com/okoeroo/ssss/wiki
Original repository:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@glite.cvs.cern.ch:/cvs/glite co -d ssss org.glite.security.ssss
Products / tools:
- ssss-generate-key
- ssss-join-key
- ssss-join-passwd
- ssss-split-key
- ssss-split-passwd
- ssss.h
- libssss.dylib
Motivation:
I've talked about this code many times in several fora since I helped the
original developer started on the first implementation. I'd like to help people
make easy use of Shamir's Secret Sharing algorithm by porting it, cleaning it
up and push it to several repos.
Current state:
- Messy code and error messages (signed errors)
- Man pages don't build, could do without XSLT.
- Apidoc doesn't apidoc the API.
- The gLite-isms need to go. I'll add an explicitly NOTES file to explain the
origin.
Build guide:
sh bootstrap && ./configure && make && make install
Dependencies:
OpenSSL
xsltproc (for the man pages)
Doxygen (for the apidoc)
