Fast, small and secure [Shamir's Secret Sharing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir%27s_Secret_Sharing) library crate
|
|
|
|
|
|

Documentation:
|
|
|
|
|
- [API reference (docs.rs)](https://docs.rs/sharks)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
|
|
|
[dependencies]
|
2020-04-02 11:45:01 +00:00
|
|
|
sharks = "0.4"
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your environment doesn't support `std`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
|
|
|
[dependencies]
|
|
|
|
|
sharks = { version = "0.4", default-features = false }
|
2020-01-13 10:42:59 +00:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To get started using Sharks, see the [Rust docs](https://docs.rs/sharks)

|
## Features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Developer friendly
|
|
|
|
|
The API is simple and to the point, with minimal configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Fast and small
|
|
|
|
|
The code is as idiomatic and clean as possible, with minimum external dependencies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Secure by design
|
|
|
|
|
The implementation forbids the user to choose parameters that would result in an insecure application,
|
|
|
|
|
like generating more shares than what's allowed by the finite field length.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Limitations
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-01-21 09:09:20 +00:00
|
|
|
Because the Galois finite field it uses is [GF256](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_field#GF(p2)_for_an_odd_prime_p),
|
|
|
|
|
only up to 255 shares can be generated for a given secret. A larger number would be insecure as shares would start duplicating.
|
|
|
|
|
Nevertheless, the secret can be arbitrarily long as computations are performed on single byte chunks.

## Testing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This crate contains both unit and benchmark tests (as well as the examples included in the docs).
|
|
|
|
|
You can run them with `cargo test` and `cargo bench`.
