  • Publication number: 20250148456
    Abstract: The End-to-End Encryption and Hot Wallet Key Recovery Apparatuses, Processes and Systems (“E2EEHWKR”) transforms key backup request, key recovery request datastructure/inputs via E2EEHWKR components into key backup response, key recovery response outputs. A key backup request datastructure specifying a wallet private key, a private key backup server identifier, a PIN shard fracture scheme definition, and a plurality of PIN shard backup devices is obtained. A user security PIN is obtained and utilized to encrypt the wallet private key. A symmetric key is calculated from a public key associated with the private key backup server identifier and an app private key. The encrypted wallet private key is encrypted utilizing the symmetric key. The twice encrypted wallet private key is sent to a private key backup server. The user security PIN is encrypted utilizing an asymmetric keypair. Encrypted user security PIN shards are generated and sent to PIN shard backup devices.
