Patent attributes
In an example system for private key recovery performed by a processor of a key recovery computing system, a key recovery computing system is configured to provide an original private key. The original private key is associated with a storage location of a blockchain-based asset. The key recovery computing system is configured to receive supplemental recovery information provided by a user via a user computing device. A recovery seed is derived from at least a subset of the supplemental recovery information, wherein the recovery seed is non-invertible. The original private key and the recovery seed are stored relationally to the supplemental recovery information. In some embodiments, the processor is further configured to cryptographically protect at least one of the original private key and the recovery seed via a universal second-factor authentication (U2F) device.
