Session Recovery

     Access to digital systems has traditionally been provided through passwords, tokens, seed phrases, or certificates. Each of these mechanisms creates vulnerabilities: passwords are forgotten and stolen, seed phrases are lost, tokens are intercepted, certificates are compromised. Losing access to an account means the irrevocable loss of digital identity.

The Challenge

     In decentralized systems, the problem of access recovery is particularly acute — there is no central administrator who could reset the password. Existing solutions either require the storage of secret phrases (seed phrases), rely on trusted intermediaries, or tie identity to a specific device. A user deprived of access to their device loses access to the network forever.

The Solution

     A mechanism of anonymous session recovery has been developed without passwords, seed phrases, tokens, certificates, or trusted servers. One person can work from any devices connected to the network — smartphones, computers, tablets — while maintaining a unified anonymous identity. Changing or losing a device does not result in loss of access to the network or accumulated participation history.
