-This package relies on [react-native-securerandom](https://github.com/rh389/react-native-securerandom) to provide entropy in shamir's secret sharing algorithm, [react-native-aes-crypto] to provide encryption to secret before being processed by sssa, and [react-native-secure-storage] to safetly store and retrieve private key
-It has native dependencies that need linking.

+**react-native-securerandom** is used to provide entropy in shamir's secret sharing algorithm 
+
+**react-native-aes-crypto** is used to encrypt a file with AES before being encrypted with SSSA
+
+**react-native-secure-storage** is used to securely stored the private key

 ## Usage
+To put a plain text secret through the entire pipeline (encrypt with. AES, generate shares of the secret with Shamir's Secret Sharing Algorithm, and distribute shares to IPFS (via Infura), use the following:  
+
+```javascript
+import {encryptSplitAndSpreadSecret} from 'react-native-sssa';
+let ipfsHashes = await encryptSplitAndSpreadSecret(secret,numShares,threshold)
+```
+To collect shares back from IPFS, use Shamir's secret sharing algorithm to reconstruct the encrypted file, and then decrypt the file back to the plain-text secret, do:
+
+```javascript
+import {collectCombineAndDecryptSecret} from 'react-native-sssa';
+let secret = await collectCombineAndDecryptSecret(ipfsHashes)
+```
+If you just want to use Shamir's Secret Sharing Algorithm alone without encryption and IPFS, do the following:
+
+```javascript
+import SSSA from 'react-native-sssa';
+//This does secret sharing with 3 bit coefficients in the field GF(2^3).
+let sssa = new SSSA(3); 
+let shares = sssa.generateShares(base64Secret,numShares,threshold);
+let secret = sssa.combine(shares);
+
