What is secret splitting?



What is secret splitting?..

Answer / Ashish Babu

Secret splitting in cryptography refers to the process of dividing a secret (like a private key or sensitive data) into multiple shares. The number of shares can be greater than two, allowing for threshold schemes where some shares are needed to reconstruct the original secret. This technique is used for secure multi-party computation and backup purposes.
