1. A method for restoring access to a digital asset, the method comprising:

  • receiving at a first server a request to restore access to a digital asset of a digital wallet, the digital wallet having had a first cryptographic key that is no longer available;

    generating at the first server a first representation of the request to restore access to the digital asset, the first server having a second cryptographic key;

    presenting the first representation to a second server having a third cryptographic key, the third cryptographic key cryptographically signing the first representation if a condition is met;

    if the condition is met, retrieving a second representation from the second server;

    determining if the second representation meets a condition on the first server;

    if the condition is met, the second cryptographic key cryptographically signing the second representation;

    generating an indication that the request is cryptographically approved; and

    using the indication to restore access to the digital asset of the digital wallet.
