Description

The generated coefficients can be 0. Though improbable, if all coefficients are 0, all the shares would be the secret.

In general, the fact that the random generator can produce 0 introduces the risk of lower-order polynomials and therefore a risk of a lower number of shares needed to recover the share than required.
