Ported Shamirs Secret Sharing Into A Swift Package
Based on Adi Shamir’s Secret Sharing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir%27s_Secret_Sharing). The intent is to split a secret into multiple parts, called shares. The shares can then be used to reconstruct the original secret.
Usage
- Build the script. You only need to build one time: swift build
- Run with command:
swift run shamirssecret <secret> -m <minimum_shares> -t <total_shares> - For example:
swift run shamirssecret 98801 -m 5 -t 7 - For a quick test, you can ignore the two last arguments. They’ll be set to the default 3 and 6.
Troubleshooting
- If the script errors a boatload of unknowns, open the Xcode Project, click the main.swift, and build.
- If the script errors out with “xcrun: error: unable to find utility “xctest”, not a developer tool or in PATH” then make sure to CD into the Sources directory of the project.
- If the script errors out with “error: root manifest not found”, check that
xcode-select -preturns with:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer. If not, set the location for Command Line Tools in Xcode by opening Xcode then clicking Preferences, then Locations.
