In an ever-evolving digital security environment, Vault12 delivers voice-level security. This innovative feature enhances the way Vault12 Guardian app users authenticate each other through personal voice notes when requesting recovery. This establishes a new additional layer of protection for digital guardians. There are several easy methods you can use to ensure better safety when requesting recovery.
Simple voice authentication: enhanced security
As an additional layer of security, incorporating simple voice authentication ensures that only the vault owner can initiate a recovery request. It is a way to confirm identity through unique vocal characteristics.
profit:
- Increases security by verifying the voice of the vault owner.
- Adds an extra layer of protection to the recovery process.
Canary Protocol: Early Warning System
The Canary Protocol acts as a subtle security measure by inserting a friendly voice cue into voice notes for recovery requests. This agreed upon phrase, known only to you and your guardian, serves as your secret password. Absence of that entry means the request is corrupted, thus preventing unauthorized recovery.
How it works:
- Record voice memos with pre-agreed audio signals.
- Use this signal for all recovery requests or safety checks.
- The guardian recognizes the signal and ensures the authenticity of the request.
yes:
A friendly greeting or inside joke can act as a canary and be seamlessly integrated into communication, adding fun and security.
Emergency Notifications: Discreet Notifications
Emergency notifications provide a discreet way to notify caregivers of potential threats. These phrases, which only the recipient can understand, signal specific actions, such as avoiding confirming a recovery request or implementing an emergency plan.
Key Features:
- Pre-agreed phrases to indicate pain
- Only trusted guardians can recognize it.
- It can help you prevent unauthorized recovery checks and seek help.
yes:
Subtle wording within the note can alert guardians to stop the recovery process to ensure their safety.
Backbone for implementing voice-level security
By default, voice memo data is transmitted via Zax, a secure, decentralized messaging protocol developed by the Vault12 team as the basis for the Vault12 Guardian app. This means that for private Zax relays, communications and voice notes are only transmitted over the private network.
Privacy and Ethical Considerations
Vault12 is committed to maintaining the highest standards of privacy and user consent. All voice authentication data is as follows:
- End-to-end encryption
- Saved locally on your device
- Not shared with third-party services
- Fully user-controlled
Summary: Increase security with voice-level authentication
By turning your voice into a unique, dynamic authentication tool, Vault12 is creating a more intuitive, secure, and human-centric approach to protecting your digital assets. Voice-level security, which makes innovative use of voice notes and voice signals, provides a powerful and personalized security solution, ensuring your digital assets are protected with an additional layer of trust.
This additional security feature complements Vault12’s existing top-tier security measures, such as Threshold End-to-End Encryption and Distributed Messaging. By integrating voice authentication, Vault12 strengthens the robustness of its security framework, protecting digital assets with an additional layer of trust by providing users with personalization tools that ensure only legitimate vault owners can recover assets from their vaults.
