Description-en: Tools to make secret sharing easier
Gfsecret is a set of tools to facilitate secret sharing according to the
Adi Shamir’s secret sharing scheme.
.
Two tools are provided: gfsec-split will split a file into several shares,
and gfsec-use will reconstruct the original file from some of the shares.
Both tools use the concept of a share URI, which is a way of describing a
share with a URI-like syntax. The gfsec-split program uses them to know where
to dispatch the generated shares, and gfsec-use uses them to know where to
search for shares in order to reconstruct the original file.
.
The package also provide a script wrapper around gfsec-split: gfsec-split-gpg
to facilitate splitting your GnuPG private primary key which can be combine
with gfsec-use.
