Consider looking into Shamir’s Secret Sharing Scheme.

I am toying with starting an online service/company where users would elect a backup group where M of N people in the group can unlock the secrets. Use case would be secrets, passwords, Trusts, Instructions.

This issue confronted me when we put our living trust docs in our safe bit didn’t have a good way for our executor to get into the safe.

Would any of you use this service? Secure s3/Dropbox with SSSS access. Secure online safety deposit box with multiparty encryption.

A long time ago when we found out that iPhones were keeping track of where you went, I learned that my phone had associated with some Russian cell towers when I flew over Russia flying from Newark to India, or somewhere like that. It’s highly probable.

No but neither was tcp/ip.

However both added value.

In the late 90s it was ATM and Frame Relay v MPLS.

rough consensus and running code culminates to standards.

But none of its necessary.
