The original paper on this “How to Share a Secret” by Adi Shamir is incredible. You should absolutely read it.
- The system is proven to be information theoretically secure (not just computationally)
- It uses only high school math
- The paper is only TWO PAGES LONG
I highly recommend printing this out on a single sheet of paper (double sided) and digging in.
