Abstract
A computing system that includes processor(s), memory(s) and a network interface that communicates with a customer device and a trusted third party. The at least one network interface is configured to receive, from the customer device, identity data for a customer and a request to restore a customer wallet. The at least one processor is configured to verify the identity data for the customer received from the customer device. When the at least one processor verifies the identity data for the customer received from the customer device, the at least one network interface is configured to communicate a request for a first key associated with the customer wallet to a key repository for the trusted third party. The at least one processor is configured to restore the customer wallet using the first key associated with the customer wallet and a second key associated with the customer wallet.
