  Description     : reference implementation of SLIP-0039: Shamir’s Secret-Sharing for Mnemonic Codes

This SLIP describes a standard and interoperable implementation of Shamir’s secret sharing (SSS).
SSS splits a secret into unique parts which can be distributed among participants, and requires a
specified minimum number of parts to be supplied in order to reconstruct the original secret.
Knowledge of fewer than the required number of parts does not leak information about the secret.

python-shamir-mnemonic is a required dependency of the current version of python-trezor.  It will
be maintained under the Debian Python Team.
