Solution
The moment keys are needed most… they're gone.
Digital assets don't disappear at death. Access does. Lokblok® resolves the fundamental paradox of digital inheritance: ownership during life and access at death, without ever storing the key.
THE LOKBLOK MODEL
Ownership during life.
Access at death.
Lokblok removes the trade-off entirely. Using Phantom Secrets™, the Protected Key is never stored. It is cryptographically transformed into public values that mean nothing on their own, and the original is destroyed on-device. There is no Protected Key for anyone to hold - not us, not the Recovery Agents, not an attacker. Recovery Agents hold their own Recovery Agent Credentials, not copies or fragments of the Protected Key.
How It Works
Client defines control
Chooses Recovery Agents (people or devices), defines threshold (e.g. 3 of 5), and appoints a trustee or executor.
Key is transformed
No storage. No backup. No escrow. The original key is cryptographically dissolved. It cannot be reconstructed by anyone before conditions are met.
Pre-authorised legacy transfer
The client defines beneficiaries, asset distribution, and trustee authority, all cryptographically signed in advance.
Death event is verified
Biometric and multi-source verification via ToughID™. Prevents false or premature triggers. No one can claim access early.
Reconstruction & transfer
Recovery Agent quorum approves. The Trustee assumes ownership of the vault and the secrets are reconstructed on the Trustee's own device. Toughkey™ holds the Trustee's own sealed credential, not the Protected Key.
WHAT THIS SOLVES
The handover problem, resolved at the root.
No loss of assets
Keys are recoverable when needed
The key can be reconstructed by the correct quorum when conditions are met. Assets are never permanently inaccessible.
No exposure during life
No one holds access prematurely
The key does not exist to be stolen, compelled or subpoenaed before the defined conditions are met.
No custody liability
Trustees never hold keys before death
Institutions can offer inheritance services without ever taking custody of assets. No counterparty risk during the client's lifetime.
No manual workarounds
No seed phrases, no unsafe storage
Designed to support succession processes; produces a signed, verifiable audit trail. No reliance on informal processes or physical backups.

COMPARED TO EXISTING MODELS
Where Lokblok fits alongside existing models
THE REAL SHIFT
Digital inheritance has always been a paradox.
You must both share the key…
and never share it.
Lokblok resolves it:
The key is never shared.
Only the conditions under which it can exist.
