Simple, No-Code Backup
Fortary handles backup automatically as part of its MPC custody infrastructure. When your organization’s keys are generated or updated, encrypted recovery packages are created and stored securely — no scripts, or technical configuration required. We help walk you through a smooth curated process. Your organization’s administrators manage backup through a guided wizard flow kit within the platform. The process is designed to be straightforward:- No code required — Everything is managed through Fortary’s interface
- Automatic generation — Recovery packages are created whenever keys are generated
- Encrypted by default — All recovery packages are encrypted using industry-standard Age encryption, ensuring that only your organization’s authorized administrators can access them
Modular Backup Options
Fortary offers flexibility in how your organization structures its backup strategy. Multiple backup approaches can be used individually or in combination to match your organization’s security requirements and operational preferences:Your organization can combine multiple backup strategies to create layered redundancy. Fortary’s team works with you during onboarding to recommend a backup configuration that fits your operational and compliance requirements.
How Recovery Works
Fortary provides two recovery paths, depending on the scenario:Threshold Recovery
If one component of your MPC signing setup becomes unavailable — for example, a lost device or a single infrastructure issue — the remaining components can collectively regenerate the missing piece. This is the most common recovery scenario and is handled within the platform.- No single point of failure — as long as a threshold of signing components remain operational, recovery is possible
- The recovered component is automatically refreshed with new cryptographic material for continued security
- Your organization’s assets remain accessible throughout the process
Disaster Recovery
In the rare event that multiple components are unavailable simultaneously, Fortary provides an offline disaster recovery process using your organization’s encrypted recovery packages.- Administrators decrypt recovery packages using their organization’s private keys
- The original key material is reconstructed and redistributed securely
- All key shares are refreshed after recovery, ensuring forward security
External Recovery Providers
Fortary is expanding its backup and recovery ecosystem to include support for trusted external third-party recovery firms. This will give organizations additional options for managing their recovery packages, including independent custody of backup material by regulated third parties.External recovery provider support is coming soon. Contact your Fortary account team to learn about upcoming options and how they can complement your existing backup strategy.
