Abstract
Described herein are methods and devices for forensic access control of an electronic device, including encryption and decryption of access keys of an electronic device. Two pairs of asymmetric key pairs (AKP) are created, e.g., created by more than one organization. An encrypted access key is configured to be decrypted by another organization possessing the private key of the first AKP and the private key of the second AKP. In some embodiments, the private key of the second AKP is encrypted. The encrypted private key of the second AKP is configured to be decrypted using the private key of the first AKP. The encrypted access key may be decrypted using the decrypted private key of the second AKP.

A method, comprising:
- creating, by a first organization, a first asymmetric key pair (AKP) comprising a public key and a private key;
- sending the public key of the first AKP to a second organization;
- creating, by the second organization, a second AKP comprising a public key and a private key;
- storing, in an electronic device, the public key of the second AKP;
- and
- encrypting, at the electronic device, an access key to the electronic device using the public key of the second AKP;
- wherein the encrypted access key is configured to be decrypted by an organization possessing the private key of the first AKP and the private key of the second AKP.
A method, comprising:
- receiving only a public key of a first asymmetric key pair (AKP) comprising the public key and a private key;
- creating a second AKP comprising a public key and a private key;
- configuring an electronic device to store the public key of the second AKP;
- configuring the electronic device to encrypt an access key to the electronic device using the public key of the second AKP;
- and
- configuring the electronic device such that the encrypted access key can be decrypted by an organization possessing the private key of the first AKP and the private key of the second AKP.
A method, comprising:
- receiving only a public key of a first asymmetric key pair (AKP) comprising the public key and a private key;
- receiving an encrypted private key of a second AKP comprising a public key and the private key;
- and
- sending the encrypted private key of the second AKP to an organization possessing the private key of the first AKP, said organization needing to decrypt an encrypted access key of an electronic device.
