Abstract
Methods and systems for managing secrets are disclosed. To manage secrets, backups of the secrets may be obtained to facilitate future recoveries of the secrets. While backed up, the secrets may be secured with a security model. The security model may prescribe how entities that manage the backups are to operate, how encryption and decryption keys are maintained, and how various copies of the backed up secrets are to be distributed to manage potential loss of various backups of the secrets. When access to a secret is lost, a recovery may be performed using a corresponding backup of the secret.
