Key Recovery System for the Commercial Environment

We propose an efficient, scalable, flexible key recovery solution for use in commercial environments. Our scheme takes a new approach in the design of key recovery systems, called hybrid key escrow. We shall demonstrate the claims by comparing the computation and communication requirements for our proposal with the key recovery solution implemented by IBM.
