A distributed, privacy preserving, protocol to establish a consensus on the death of the owner of crypto assets: the Tales From the Crypt Protocol, which could be incorparated into any arbitrary crypto platform.

Abstract

We discuss some issues to the inheritance of crypto assets. We propose a distributed, privacy preserving, protocol to establish a consensus on the death of the owner of crypto assets: the Tales From the Crypt Protocol. Until the actual death of the owner no link can be made between public information and the corresponding crypto assets. This protocol is generic and could be incorparated into any arbitrary crypto platform.
