About

What is I built a paper-based vault with m-of-n keys?

This solution provides a unique approach to physical security by implementing m-of-n cryptographic key splitting for vault access control. It leverages paper-based storage, allowing users to distribute backup keys among multiple trusted parties. The system requires a specified threshold of these paper keys to be present to reconstruct access, ensuring that no single point of failure or compromise can grant unauthorized entry. This method is designed for scenarios where digital infrastructure is not desired or available, offering a high level of security through distributed physical control.

FAQs

How does this paper-based vault compare to digital multi-signature solutions for security?

This paper-based vault offers a distinct advantage by completely removing digital attack vectors. Unlike digital multi-sig, it's immune to hacking, malware, or network breaches, relying solely on physical security and the distribution of paper keys among trusted individuals for access control.

What are the practical limitations or risks associated with using paper keys for vault access?

The primary limitations involve the physical integrity and management of the paper keys. Risks include loss, damage (e.g., water, fire), or unauthorized access if not stored securely. Users must ensure robust physical storage and a clear protocol for key distribution and retrieval.

Can the 'm-of-n' key configuration be changed after the vault is set up?

No, the 'm-of-n' configuration is established during the initial setup of the paper-based vault. Changing it would effectively require creating a new vault with a new set of keys and a new distribution, as the existing keys are tied to the original threshold.
