Secret Sharing is a cryptographic method that allows a secret to be divided into multiple parts, or shares, which can be distributed among a group of participants. Each participant receives a share, and only a specific number of shares are needed to reconstruct the original secret. This ensures that no single participant can access the secret alone, enhancing security. The most common approach to Secret Sharing is Shamir's Secret Sharing, developed by Adi Shamir in 1979. In this scheme, the secret is represented as a polynomial, and the shares are points on that polynomial. This mathematical foundation allows for robust and secure sharing of sensitive information.
