  • Secrets Vault is a backup and recovery solution for seed phrases, private keys, and more. Current release supports BIP-39 based seed phrases but this vault can support any digital input.
  • Secrets Vault harnesses co’s patent-pending service that uniquely combines the power of multiple proven cryptographic algorithms that include Shamir’s Secret Sharing algorithm, Elliptical Curve (ECDH), AES-256, and MPC to split “secrets” in a distributed recoverable way and ensures no single person or service holds any of the secret splits.
  • Toughbox is a key management system that splits any type of key or SECRET without storing it or any of its secret shares anywhere. They call this provably secure because it is proven mathematically to be secure. Lokblok combines several provably secure cryptographic techniques in a novel way to make the claim that Toughbox as is provably secure key management system.
  • We don’t encrypt or wrap secret splits that can be lost or stolen. Lokblok’s patent-pending ****process enables your trusted Recovery Agents to help you with the recovery process.

The Lokblok team has worked at the forefront of hardware-based security engineering for more that two decades and offers ‘Security as a Service’ platform to offer the latest in private key generation and management to secure blockchain applications such as digital asset self-custody.

  • We don’t wrap secret splits that can be lost or stolen. Our patent-pending ****process enables your trusted Recovery Agents to help you with the recovery process.

A Recovery Agent is someone or something  trusted by the digital asset owner (you) and invited to participate to assist you in the sSecrets recovery process. Each Recovery Agent goes through the KYC and LIve ID verification process during onboarding and for each Recovery request. 

No, Never. Recovery Agents are never asked to safeguard a key share or any part of the Secret so you don’t have to worry about losing anything. The Recovery Agent holds no piece of the Secret in any form.  Literally, only the digital asset owner can recover and reconstitute the Secret on their device.

No. Recovery Agents do not have access to any information related to the digital asset owner’s Secret and can never make any Recovery requests. Only the digital asset owner can make recovery requests for Secrets enrolled.  Recovery Agent can only receive notifications about the recovery request and they can either approve or deny the request. 

  • Recovery Agents do not know who the other Recovery Agents are, how many Recovery Agents are in the Recovery pool and what the minimum threshold is to recover the Secret. In addition, the Recovery Agent holds no piece of the Secret in any form.  Literally, only the digital asset owner can recover and reconstitute the Secret on their device. 
  • We do not store any keys or seed phrases. The secret enrollment service creates a secure session on your personal device. The key never leaves that secure session. This means, we don’t SEE, TOUCH or STORE your keys in any shape or form.
  •  
  • We don’t store secrets anywhere. Not on your device, not in the cloud, not with Recovery Agents
  • During the Secrets enrollment, the secure-shell service takes your key and split it into the number of key shares (equal to the number of approved Recovery Agents).
  • We currently support BIP 39 based secrets. In the future we will be able to support more types of secrets.
  • Secrets Owner
    • Once you get your new device, you will log into Crypto Legacy application and install the secure client application. That generates a new set of public and private keys. At this point, you can simply re-enroll all the secrets.

  • The secrets owner is in control of their secrets.  Even the Owner can’t view the secrets once they are encrypted and sharded. The needs to go through the recovery process to view the secret.
