    SatoshiLabs Improvement Proposals

  • For anybody new or returning to SSS, check out SLIP-0039: https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0039.m...

    One of the big downsides of SSS is that it’s very raw and you have to do a lot of legwork to make it actually useable. It’s rightfully criticized for this and the argument follows the don’t roll your own crypto vein.

    SLIP39 solves this by formalizing a protocol for handling SSS splits built atop standards for crypto key serialization (BIP-39). SlIP shards are unique on each generation so parties with the same underlying SSS shard can’t compare mnemonics, they’re mnemonically serialized, and have a checksum and group index metadata which makes a more sane UX possible when combining.

  • ThresholdJS

    An implementation of Shamir's Secret Sharing algorithm for Bitcoin private keys (256-bit integers)

  • Another implementation:

    https://github.com/karlgluck/ThresholdJS

    This is a very straightforward encoding of a single 256-bit number.

  • secretshare-py

    A simple pure python library implementing Adi Shamir's "How to share a secret" algorithm.

  • I also built a pure python lib a whole ago to use w/ an app, check it out: https://github.com/HacKanCuBa/secretshare-py

  • shamir

    🔑 Split and combine secrets using Shamir's Secret Sharing algorithm (by incipher)

  • Built a CLI¹ a couple of years back that uses HashiCorp Vault's implementation of the Shamir Secret Sharing algorithm and exposes its functionality to the command-line in a UNIX-y way.
