Shamir's secret sharing

Shamir's secret sharing (SSS) is an efficient secret sharing algorithm for distributing private information (the "secret") among a group. The secret cannot be revealed unless a quorum of the group acts together to pool their knowledge.

Behind the concept sits quite simple yet powerful and beautiful math.

In my proof-of-concept I expose SSS implemented in Rust as a WebAssembly. It is then used in a simple web application where interaction with WebAssembly happens via JavaScript.
