Cases/Fairblock

Fairblock ensures secure, automated key recovery for resilient AI systems with Phala

Solutions Implemented

Key Generation & Encryption

Private keys are generated in Phala's TEE enclave, encrypted via threshold encryption, and split into shares stored on Fairblock's FairyRing MPC network.

Liveness Monitoring

Smart contracts (e.g., CosmWasm) track TEE activity by periodic encrypted key submissions, acting as failure detectors.

Automated Recovery

If the TEE fails, contracts trigger Fairblock's MPC network to privately decrypt and reconstruct keys without exposing shares.

Conditional Decryption

Recovery requires predefined criteria (e.g., TEE inactivity) and authorization via on-chain governance.

Hardware-Agnostic Migration

Recovered keys are securely migrated to new TEE instances, avoiding vendor lock-in.

Key Benefits

Zero Trust Key Management

Keys never leave TEEs in plaintext; MPC ensures no single entity accesses full keys.

Resilient AI Systems

Automated recovery prevents data loss from crashes/reboots, critical for mission-critical AI.

Decentralized Security

Eliminates centralized backups via smart contract-governed workflows and MPC.

Auditable Compliance

TEE attestations and MPC transparency enable verification of key integrity.

Future-Proof Flexibility

Supports cross-hardware migration and integration with accountable MPC frameworks.
