Encrypted Wallet Recovery Data Storage

Recovery events are stressful and time-sensitive. DeadVault helps teams and operators keep sensitive recovery references encrypted locally and stored as on-chain ciphertext for resilient access workflows.

Recovery data threat model

  • Plain-text recovery notes in cloud docs or chat tools.
  • Ad-hoc sharing of critical fallback credentials.
  • No standard process for key compromise incidents.
  • Fragmented ownership across multiple teams and wallets.

Encryption and storage lifecycle

  1. Prepare structured recovery notes locally.
  2. Encrypt with AES-256-GCM and password-derived key material.
  3. Store ciphertext using DeadVault write flow and wallet auth.

Operational recovery playbook

Define recovery ownership, rehearse emergency procedures, and rotate secrets after every incident. Use versioned entries for controlled updates and post-incident audits.
