  • Patent number: 12192381
    Abstract: System and method of creating a multi-party computation (MPC) cryptographic signature for a blockchain based computer network, including: generating at least one first share and second share of a cryptographic key, based on a distributed key generation MPC protocol, signing a received message with the at least one first share, receiving the message signed with the at least one first share, signing the message signed with the at least one first share with the at least one second share, sending the message signed with the at least one second share and the at least one first share to a full node of the computer network, and adding a transaction to a ledger of the computer network, in accordance with the received message signed by the at least one first share and the at least one second share.

  • Patent number: 12192326
    Abstract: Systems and methods of performing multi factor authentication (MFA), including: receiving, by a computing device, an MFA request from a first server, generating, by the computing device, a first share of a cryptographic key, based on a multi-party computation (MPC) protocol, generating, by a second server, a corresponding second share of the cryptographic key, based on the MPC protocol, wherein the cryptographic key corresponds to a public key and private key pair, co-signing, by the computing device and the second server, the MFA request based on the MPC protocol, wherein the computing device signs the MFA request with the first share and the second server signs the MFA request with the second share, and verifying, by the first server, the signed MFA request.

  • Patent number: 11930110
    Abstract: Methods and systems of recovering a cryptographic key associated with a blockchain based computer network, including encryption of at least a portion of a cryptographic key of the computer network with a recovery public key, sending of the encrypted at least a portion of the cryptographic key to at least one second computing device, sending of a recovery private key to a recovery escrow service, detection that the at least one first computing device is unavailable, publishing the recovery private key in a public repository, retrieving the recovery private key from the public repository, and decryption of the encrypted at least a portion of the cryptographic key by the at least one second computing device.

  • Patent number: 11616643
    Abstract: Systems and methods of managing a shared cryptographic account for a first user and at least one second user in a blockchain based computer network, including: generating, by a first computing device of the first user, a first share of a cryptographic key, generating, by a server, a corresponding second share of the cryptographic key, wherein the cryptographic key corresponds to a public key and private key pair, and wherein the private key is configured to decrypt shares of the cryptographic key that are encrypted by the public key, generating a group ID for a group of users of the shared cryptographic account, distributing, by the server, the first share among each of the at least one second user, and enforcing a signing logic scheme for users of the group when signing with the shared cryptographic account.

  • Publication number: 20230028854
    Abstract: Systems and methods of cryptographic key distribution in a plurality of networks, including: sharing, by a first device, a first portion of a first cryptographic key controlled by a server with a second device, sharing, by the second device, a first portion of a second cryptographic key with the first device, signing a first transaction on a first network with data exchange from a first threshold signature address controlled by the first device, to a third address when one or more details of the first transaction are validated by the server; and signing a second transaction on a second network with data exchange from the second threshold signature address controlled by the second device to a fourth address when one or more details of the second transaction are validated by the server.
