The tables are public knowledge. Memorizing them does not give you any extra security. It might hide the fact that you are using psst. This might make you less of a target for attacks (but probably has a very small or…
Both versions of your code generate the same polynomials (i.e., rows of the table), but in a different order. The order doesn't affect psst. This is why each page of the worksheet shows the polynomials in the order…
Alas, psst can't help with that. With psst (or indeed any secret sharing scheme), there is a single secret which is only split while at rest. In order to actually make use of the secret, it needs to be recovered from…
Very cool! When designing psst, I considered implementing it as a self-contained website. The advantages would be (1) ease of use, and (2) more features. In contrast, psst is a simpler design, so simple that the entire…
One can use any finite field. GF(256) is popular, since it allows computers to split one byte at a time. Plus, there are many implementations of GF(256) operations, since the same field is also used in AES. In GF(256),…
This ranking uses a method called Borda Count (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borda_count). It can lead to quite arbitrary results, for a number of reasons. One example is that being 9th is three times better than being…
