Protegy glossary

Zero-knowledge design

Definition

A system design intended to prevent a service provider from learning protected user secrets. The claim should be supported by a clear cryptographic architecture, not marketing language alone.

Why it matters

Understanding this term helps you compare security options and choose the right recovery plan without relying on marketing claims.

Practical tip

Keep recovery information separate from the device or vault it is meant to recover, and test your setup before you need it.
