Shamir's Secret Sharing (SSS) 💡 is an efficient secret sharing algorithm for distributing private information (the "secret") among a group, so that 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. Its use is fully indicated for inheritance of cryptoassets, where parts of the keywords are divided among the heirs. Try it at this online service:
