 A third party can now encrypt a message to the public master key
 and any set of `t + 1` participants *(but no fewer!)* can collaborate to
 decrypt it. Also, any set of `t + 1` participants can collaborate to sign a message,
 producing a signature that is verifiable with the public master key.

 signatures for the same message, produced by two different sets of `t + 1`
 secret key share holders, both signatures will be valid AND
