+Reference implementation of SLIP-0039: Shamir's Secret-Sharing for
+Mnemonic Codes
+
+This SLIP describes a standard and interoperable implementation of
+Shamir’s secret sharing (SSS). SSS splits a secret into unique parts
+which can be distributed among participants, and requires a specified
+minimum number of parts to be supplied in order to reconstruct the
+original secret. Knowledge of fewer than the required number of parts
+does not leak information about the secret.
