Jan 30	comment	RS Erasure Coding and Shamir's Secret Sharing Thanks, this comment really makes things clear for me
Jan 28	comment	RS Erasure Coding and Shamir's Secret Sharing This answer goes more in the direction I was looking for. My original question was due to the technique they use in this article [dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1993051]: basically they use RS for integrity and SS for security: I was guessing whether it was a redundant solution or not.
Jan 28	comment	RS Erasure Coding and Shamir's Secret Sharing The paper you reference is the same as the one I cited in the original question. My question was focused on security: If I want a secret not to be uncovered unless m out of n participants are compromised can I use an RS code? Is it less secure than Shamir's algorithm? If yes, why?
