Hi,
Is it likely that secret sharing will be ever incorporated in GnuPG? By
secret sharing I understand the following, but maybe I'm wrong:
There's a key divided into N fragments, of which M (where M<=N) of them are
necessary to utilice it. This would allow a group of people to share a key
which they can use only with a certain consensus. At least this is what I
understand by key splitting...
- --David.
