A beneficiary claim starts after death verification completes and a claim token is generated.
Claim flow
Open the claim link
The beneficiary opens the claim URL from their notification or from the owner account’s beneficiary tools.
Start a recovery session
The browser generates an ephemeral recovery key pair and registers the public key with Eternum.
Wait for shares
Trusted contacts release beneficiary-bound shares to the recovery session.
Add optional cold backup
If available, the beneficiary can paste or scan the cold backup share.
Combine enough shares
The browser combines at least three shares to reconstruct the master key.
Decrypt vault items
The browser decrypts item keys and vault blobs locally.
Threshold
Eternum uses a 3-of-5 share model. Recovery needs at least three valid shares.
The claim page reconstructs the master key in the beneficiary browser. Treat the recovered session as sensitive and use a trusted device.
