Fr\'ed\'eric Prost (LIG, UGA)

TL;DR
This paper introduces a privacy-preserving protocol called Tales From the Crypt for establishing consensus on an owner's death to facilitate inheritance of crypto assets, ensuring privacy until death.
Contribution
It proposes a novel, generic protocol that can be integrated into any crypto platform to securely handle inheritance issues while preserving privacy.
Findings
Protocol ensures privacy until death
Can be incorporated into any crypto platform
Provides a distributed consensus mechanism
Abstract
We discuss some issues to the inheritance of crypto assets. We propose a distributed, privacy preserving, protocol to establish a consensus on the death of the owner of crypto assets: the Tales From the Crypt Protocol. Until the actual death of the owner no link can be made between public information and the corresponding crypto assets. This protocol is generic and could be incorparated into any arbitrary crypto platform.
