you're right i think i mis-understood you i thought (wrongly ;-) ) that what you meant, was dividing up a password into several shares, with a part of the password held by each one what i now think you mean, is that you want to protect the entire password as a data item, using Shamir's secret-sharing system that does work, sorry, vedaal any ads or links below this message are added by hushmail without my endorsement or awareness of the nature of the link -- Click here for top quality Spyware removers. http://tagline.hushmail.com/fc/Ioyw6h4dKPZkHV6HYGzYg59qVrSNIV4Y3NS4mvR8AAnaqrdVoQEjiH/ _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
