What is Torvus Security?

Secure document storage with automatic release policies

Torvus Security is a platform for storing sensitive documents and information with automated release mechanisms. Think of it as a digital safety deposit box that can automatically open under specific conditions you define.

Core Concept​

Traditional digital storage solutions (Dropbox, Google Drive) are great for everyday files, but what happens if you're unavailable? Torvus Security solves the "key person risk" problem by ensuring your important information reaches the right people at the right time—even if you can't deliver it yourself.

How It Works​

1. Vaults: Secure Containers​

Create encrypted vaults to store your sensitive documents, passwords, legal files, cryptocurrency keys, or any information that matters.

  • End-to-end encryption: Your data is encrypted before leaving your device
  • Organized storage: Tag and categorize documents for easy retrieval
  • Flexible sharing: Share vaults with trusted individuals or keep them private

2. Recipients: Trusted Individuals​

Designate who should receive access to your vault if a release policy is triggered.

  • Multiple recipients: Add family members, attorneys, business partners, or anyone you trust
  • Role-based access: Control what each recipient can do (view-only, manage, full control)
  • Verification process: Recipients are verified before gaining access

3. Policies: Automated Release Mechanisms​

Configure when and how your vault should be released to recipients.

Policy Types:

  • Inactivity Policy: Release if you don't check in for a specified period (weekly, monthly)
  • Manual Release: Trigger release immediately with a button press (emergency situations)
  • Date-Based Release: Automatically release on a specific date (future-dated delivery)
  • Death Certificate: Release after verified death certificate submission (estate planning)

4. Check-ins: Proof of Activity​

For inactivity policies, check-ins prove you're active and have access to your account.

  • Multiple methods: Email, SMS, mobile app, or API
  • Flexible frequency: Daily, weekly, biweekly, or monthly check-ins
  • Grace periods: Extra time if you miss a check-in (24-72 hours)
  • Automatic reminders: Get notified before check-ins are due

Common Use Cases​
