-<h2>Description</h2>
-
-<p>ssss is an implementation of Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme. The
-program suite does both: the generation of shares for a known secret,
-and the reconstruction of a secret using user-provided shares.</p>
-
-
-
-<h2>Commands</h2>
-
- <p><b>ssss-split</b>: prompt the user for a secret and generate a set of
- corresponding shares.</p>
-
- <p><b>ssss-combine</b>: read in a set of shares and reconstruct
- the secret.</p>
-
-
-
-<h2>Options</h2>
-
-
-
-<p><b>-t <em>threshold</em></b></p>
-<p>Specify the number of
- shares necessary to reconstruct the secret.</p>
-
-
-
-
-<p><b>-n <em>shares</em></b></p>
-
- <p>Specify the number of shares to be generated.</p>

-
- <p>Text token to name shares in order to avoid confusion in case one
- utilizes secret sharing to protect several independent secrets. The
- generated shares are prefixed by these tokens.</p>

- <p><b>-s <em>level</em></b></p>

- implies an upper bound for the length of the shared secret
- (shorter secrets are padded). Only multiples of 8 in the range
- from 8 to 1024 are allowed. If this option is ommitted (or the
- value given is 0) the security level is chosen automatically
- depending on the secret's length. The security level directly
- determines the length of the shares.</p>

- <p><b>-Q</b></p>
-
- <p>Extra quiet mode: like <b>-q</b>, but also suppress

-
-
- <p><b>-D</b></p>
-
- <p>Disable the diffusion layer added in version 0.2. This option
- is needed when shares are combined that where generated with
- ssss version 0.1.</p>
-
-
-
- <p><b>-v</b></p>
-
- <p>Print version information.</p>
-
-
-
-
-<h2>Example</h2>
-
-<p>
- In case you want to protect your login password with a set of ten
- shares in such a way that any three of them can reconstruct the
- password, you simply run the command
-</p>
-
-<p>
- ssss-split -t 3 -n 10 -w passwd
-</p>
-
-<p>
- To reconstruct the password pass three of the generated shares
- (in any order) to
-</p>
-
-<p>
- ssss-combine -t 3
-</p>
-
-
-
-<h2>Notes</h2>
-
-<p>
-To protect a secret larger than 1024 bits a hybrid technique has to be
-applied: encrypt the secret with a block cipher and apply secret
-sharing to just the key. Among others openssl and gpg can do the
-encryption part:
-</p>
-<p>
-openssl bf -e &lt; file.plain &gt; file.encrypted
-</p>
-<p>
-gpg -c &lt; file.plain &gt; file.encrypted
-</p>
-
-
-
-
-<h2>Security</h2>
-
-<p>
-<b>ssss</b> tries to lock its virtual address space into RAM for
-privacy reasons. But this may fail for two reasons: either the current uid
-doesn't permit page locking, or the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is set too
-low. After printing a warning message <b>ssss</b> will run even without
-obtaining the desired mlock.
