+
+[TOC]
+
+## What is it?
+
+GnetRAID is a project intended to efficiently implement RAID-like algorithms in software and to implement some possible applications using these algorithms. The main algorithm used is Michael Rabin's Information Dispersal Algorithm. The algorithm is very similar to the more widely-known **Reed-Solomon** coding method, versions of which are used to perform error detection and correction in applications such as Compact Discs and hardware RAID arrays.

+
+In addition, two user applications are currently implemented: 
+
+  * An implementation of [Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir%27s_Secret_Sharing) which is suitable for sharing secret keys, and 
+  * An implementation of Rabin's IDA which is suitable for sharing large files 
+
+Command-line versions of these programs are currently available, but GUI versions are planned.
