 \section{Abstract}
 Everyone has probably noticed at least once through the media that someone has 
lost their key to their electronic wallet and therefore huge sums of money have

-But how should one create and manage such a backup of a key? It certainly 
makes sense to encrypt a key with a different password and then use the result 
as a backup. After all, this password can also be forgotten. Apart from that,

-With Anastasis this gap shall be filled and a solution for secure recovery of

offered. This is achieved by splitting the
key material across multiple independent Anastasis service
-providers, and enabling users to recover their master key by
authenticating with each provider.\\
