Hi Matt,
I used Shamir's Secret Sharing to decompose a seed for a BIP32 master =
key, that is I think more future relevant than a single key.
Therefore suggest to adapt the BIP for a length used there typically 16 =
or 32 bytes and have a magic code to indicate its use as key vs. seed.
Regards,
Tamas Blummer
