GHSA-978j-88f3-p5j3: Threshold value is ignored (all shares are n=3)

June 17, 2022

Affected versions of this crate did not properly calculate secret shares requirements.

This reduces the security of the algorithm by restricting the crate to always using a threshold value of three, rather than a configurable limit.

The flaw was corrected by correctly configuring the threshold.
