Only the Client or his/her Heirs, but only once they have been identified and validated by a KYC procedure and eventually by our swiss notary.

The very information a Client’s secret is stored by Arbitri is confidential.

First, from the legal and reputational side, you can follow the ID number of our company and those of the Protectors.

Second, from a technical side, the vault opening and set up is transparent as it is publicly visible on the blockchain. Consequently, the secret cannot be released withouth the Client’s knowledge.

Also, Clients can set up additionnal Protectors of their choice by adding directly their ETH address. 

Finally, Client can secure their secret prior to the deposit. For instance a partial version of the secret (e.g. part of a mnemonic phrase) or an encrypted version of the secret can be stored.

Our solution uses special mechanisms to protect the vault against all types of attacks.

In order to be successfull, the attacker would need to compromise all private keys, included those the Client set up as third party protectors, to open the vault.

Further, our system foresees a technical delay for the authorization signature to be perfomed and a revocation mechanism. Finally, any secret is encrypted by us and potentially by the Client prior.

Under those circumstances, the success of an attack is utterly illusory.

If one or several of the Protector(s) resign or get dissolved, Arbitri will replace them by other(s). A dissolution procedure is foreseen and Clients will be informed of those changes.

In the eventuality Arbitri Sàrl itself is dissolved, Clients will be informed so that they can reallocate and protect their secret in other ways. Finally, our own dissolution procedure foresees destruction of private keys in order to protect Client’s secret.

Demandor must submit a request to access the secret. This request requires a banking level identification from the demandor(s) and, depending on the request, official paperwork from notaries.

Virtual secret are encrypted and secured off-chain whilst physcal secret (e.g. USB key) are stored in the vault of a swiss bank.

Our scheme is protected against end of the world event.

In short, if all Protectors disappear, two selected notaries will be entitled to recuperate the seed keys of the Protectors stored in a secret vault inside a mountain somewhere in Switzerland.

The procuration is aknowldeged via blockchain. This solution uses the fact that notaries can not be dissolved by law (art. 29, RS/GE E 6 05: Loi sur le notariat (LNot)).

In the eventuality swiss authorities would require some actions from Arbitri or the Protectors, we would all be obliged to comply with their demands.

However, in most cases, it can be argue that if the secret is encrypted, partially stored or additionnal protectors are necessary for the opening, any actions are likely to be ineffective.

The private keys are protected using standards methods and are kept on three layers of back up.
