nix run 'github:MrJoy/ssss#ssss-combine'This is a fork of B. Poettering's SSSS ("Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme").
This fork exists to simplify the build process a bit, and make minor changes to the tool that will facilitate its use in real-world usage scenarios.
Please read B. Poettering's page on SSSS before proceeding. SSSS, like all cryptographic algorithms, can lead to a false sense of security if improperly used. Be sure you understand the role it serves, and the limitations it has before employing it.

This fork is based on ssss-0.5.tar.gz (SHA1: 3f8f5046c2c5c3a2cf1a93f0a9446681852b190e).
Before installing, when cloning this repo, use a signed tag and verify the signature first!
# First, you need to make sure you have the signing key in your GPG keychain:
gpg --keyserver ipv4.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 7DCB12A7
# or, if using IPv6:
gpg --keyserver ipv6.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 7DCB12A7
# Now, clone the repo, and verify it:
git clone http://github.com/MrJoy/ssss.git
git tag -v releases/v0.5.7
# You should see output to the effect of:
# gpg: Signature made <date and time> using RSA key ID 7DCB12A7
# gpg: Good signature from "Jon Frisby <jfrisby@mrjoy.com>"
#
# If you do NOT see 'Good Signature from "Jon Frisby <jfrisby@mrjoy.com>" and
# the RSA key ID 7DCB12A7 then do not proceed with installation!
#
git checkout releases/v0.5.7 # This will put you in 'detached head' mode, which
# is fine but don't make changes as you are no longer on a
# branch!
# Proceed with build steps from here. See `INSTALL.md` for details.You can always find my GPG key signature at MrJoy.com.
