Edwin Groothuis a0125022d7 new port security/ssss - Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme
ssss is an implementation of Shamir's secret sharing scheme
	for UNIX/linux machines. It is free software, the code is
	licensed under the GNU GPL. ssss does both: the generation
	of shares for a known secret and the reconstruction of a
	secret using user provided shares. The software was written
	in 2006 by B. Poettering, it links against the GNU libgmp
	multiprecision library (version 4.1.4 works well) and
	requires the /dev/random entropy source.
