Update of /cvsroot/othersrc/crypto/external/bsd/ssss
In directory ivanova.netbsd.org:/tmp/cvs-serv27364

Log Message:
Initial import of alternative threshold code to othersrc/crypto to
perform Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme.

For more information on Sharmir's Secret Sharing Scheme (SSSS or S4),
please see:

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir's_Secret_Sharing

To re-iterate: this is a threshold scheme where an original secret is
split into shares. When a threshold of shares is presented, the original
secret can be reconstructed.

This is closely related to the threshold routines previously imported
into othersrc; the difference is that this code does not reveal any of
the information in the original secret until a threshold of shares is
presented. Compared to IDA, for example, an SSSS share is the same size
as the original data (compared to originalsize / threshold for IDA), but
provides privacy which IDA does not do.

This implementation of SSSS keeps the same interface as the threshold(1)
and libthreshold(3), for convenience sake.
