View source for Armory

'''Bitcoin Armory''' is an open-source, python-based, wallet-management application for the Bitcoin network.

It's using a N of M secret sharing for backing up users private keys.  The implementation used repeated hashing of data instead of a random number generator and that combined with other errors completely breaks the scheme. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2199659.0 The result] is that regardless of the requested threshold an attacker with the first share and any other share could recover the secret (or alternatively the N-th share plus any N additional ones). See also [[Shamir Secret Snakeoil#Armory]].
