# Patents

> Lokblok's patent portfolio covers the Phantom Secrets™ protocol and zero-custody key management.

## Scope

The patent family covers the core mechanisms by which a private key can be used for a cryptographic operation without ever existing in storage at rest:

- Threshold reconstruction inside certified hardware
- Conditional reconstruction bound to identity, policy, and context
- Ephemeral key lifecycle bounded by the hardware trust boundary
- Regen Token mechanism for share regeneration without secret material persistence
- Hierarchical and quorum-based signature workflows enforced cryptographically

## Jurisdictions

Patents are granted or pending in major markets including the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other strategic jurisdictions. Specific filing details are available under NDA.
