This is a minimalist and yet complete implementation of Shamir's Secret Sharing Algorithm as described in [JACM1979]. The goal is to provide, as much as possible, a generic and efficient implementation. There are two ports of the algorithm in two languages: C and Python. Each port can be used separately from the other.

To run the C port, you will need a C89 compiler and libgmp
To run the Python port, you will need Python 2.7+
