Shamir's secret-sharing scheme (SSSS) is a cryptographic mechanism how to divide a secret into N unique parts, where M of them are required to reconstruct the secret. First, a polynomial of N-1 degree is constructed and each party is given a corresponding point - a non-zero integer input to the polynomial and the corresponding output.
In case sufficient M values are provided the points exactly define the polynomial. The polynomial's value of f(x) = 0 corresponds to the master secret. You may read more on SSSS on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir%27s_Secret_Sharing).
