SHORT SECURITY AUDIT REPORT
Shamir Secret Sharing Implementation
Bitaps JsBTC / PyBTC

A. Modulo 255 Defect (“Never 255 Bug”)
Polynomial coefficients never take the value 255 (0xFF) due to generator constraints (e.g., modulo 255 arithmetic or specific GF table usage).

Impact:

  1. The coefficient space is reduced from 256 to 255 possible values
  2. Entropy reduction is extremely small

Risk Assessment:

  1. Severity: Low
  2. Status: Non-fatal and does not reduce the Shamir threshold

B. Global Polynomial Coefficients (Static Across Bytes)
The polynomial coefficients (a₁, a₂, etc.) are generated once and reused across all bytes of the mnemonic entropy, instead of being regenerated independently per byte.

Impact:

  1. Secret bytes become correlated
  2. Polynomials are no longer independent per byte
  3. Shamir Secret Sharing security is significantly degraded

Status:
Design-level fatal flaw
