What can I use Trusted Vault for?

Future messages like birthday wishes or graduation letters (notes with a release date, delivered after your account has been triggered), time capsules with memories to unlock later, sensitive secrets (end-to-end encrypted), emergency access for crisis situations, life documentation for loved ones, and digital inheritance like passwords, documents, and account access. All of it is delivered only when needed.

How does the dead man's switch work?

You set a check-in period (e.g., 45 days). If you don't check in within that period, the system sends reminder emails (at 30, 37, and 40 days). After the full period without a check-in, your encrypted secrets are automatically released to your trusted contacts who can then decrypt them.

Is my data encrypted?

Secrets are encrypted end-to-end using RSA 4096-bit and AES-256-GCM; only you and your assigned beneficiaries can decrypt them. Notes are encrypted at rest. We do not store plaintext secrets.

What happens if I forget to check in?

You'll receive reminder emails before your check-in period expires. If you don't check in, your secrets will be released to your trusted contacts. However, you can always check in to reset the timer and prevent release.

Can I change my trusted contacts?

Yes, you can add, remove, or modify your trusted contacts at any time. You can also reassign which secrets go to which contacts. Changes take effect immediately.

How secure is the platform?

We use industry-standard encryption: RSA 4096-bit for key pairs, AES-256-GCM for data encryption, and PBKDF2 with 600,000 iterations for password security. Your private key is encrypted with your password before storage, and we do not store plaintext data.

What if my beneficiaries aren't tech-savvy?

The platform is designed to be user-friendly. When secrets are released, beneficiaries receive clear instructions via email on how to access their assigned information. Our support team is also available to help if needed.
