Abstract
A method for managing access to cryptocurrency assets includes: protecting cryptocurrency assets using a first security protocol in which signatures generated from multiple cryptographic keys are required to access a cryptocurrency address. Each of the multiple cryptographic keys are stored by one of a plurality of computing devices. The method includes receiving a user request to exit the first security protocol; authenticating the user request to exit the first security protocol; and in response to authenticating the user request, exiting the first security protocol, including transporting a descriptor for the multiple cryptographic keys to a single one of the plurality of computing devices. The descriptor enables access to the cryptocurrency address.
