Hi Tony,
The following article talks about using secret sharing and threshold
signatures to make quorom decisions in a distributed system:
L. Zhou and Z.J. Haas, Securing ad hoc networks. IEEE Network
13(6):24?30, November 1999.
Has there been any work with combining Shamir-style secret sharing with
consensus protocols like Paxos and Raft (or leader election protocols like
Omega Meets Paxos)?
The idea would be to have a network of n peers, who share a secret where
t=2 shares are required to reassemble the original
