THE TWO MAN-JOB

Implementation of Shamir's Secret Sharing Algorithm

---

The idea for this project derives from Shamir’s Secret Sharing chapter from CS 492 and US Air Force Instruction (AFI) 91-104. The Two-man job will illustrate Linear Secret Sharing where the reconstruction of the secret from the shares is a linear mapping, and the key will be distributed between two authorized users. This project will be a web-based implementation of US Air Force Instruction (AFI) 91-104. The idea is that two people are required and must agree to execute a task. US Air Force Instruction is designed to prevent the accidental or malicious launch of nuclear weapons by a single individual.
