Function shamirsecretsharing::create_shares

pub fn create_shares(
    data: &[u8], 
    n: u8, 
    k: u8
) -> Result<Vec<Vec<u8>>, SSSError>

Create a set of shares

• data must be a &[u8] slice of length DATA_SIZE (64)
• n is the number of shares that is to be generated
• k is the treshold value of how many shares are needed to restore the secret

The value that is returned is a newly allocated vector of vectors. Each of these vectors will contain SHARE_SIZE u8 items.

Example

use shamirsecretsharing::*;

// Create a some shares over the secret data `[42, 42, 42, ...]`
let data = vec![42; DATA_SIZE];
let count = 5;
let treshold = 4;
let shares = create_shares(&data, count, treshold);
match shares {
    Ok(shares) => println!("Created some shares: {:?}", shares),
    Err(err) => panic!("Oops! Something went wrong: {}", err),
}
