Emergency Recovery Method

An Emergency Recovery Method is a recovery method that provides last-resort access to critical systems or protected resources when primary access methods fail through emergency recovery procedures.

• AKA: Disaster Recovery Method, Last-Resort Recovery Method, Emergency Access Method.
• Context:
  • It can typically enable Emergency Recovery Access when emergency recovery trigger conditions occur.
  • It can typically require Emergency Recovery Authentication through emergency recovery credentials.
  • It can typically implement Emergency Recovery Security preventing emergency recovery abuse.
  • It can typically maintain Emergency Recovery Logs for emergency recovery audits.
  • It can typically support Emergency Recovery Testing without emergency recovery activation.
  • ...
  • It can often include Emergency Recovery Documentation with emergency recovery instructions.
  • It can often provide Emergency Recovery Notifications to emergency recovery administrators.
  • It can often require Emergency Recovery Justification for emergency recovery accountability.
  • It can often enable Emergency Recovery Escalation through emergency recovery tiers.
  • ...
  • It can range from being an Automated Emergency Recovery Method to being a Manual Emergency Recovery Method, depending on its emergency recovery execution model.
  • It can range from being a Single-Use Emergency Recovery Method to being a Reusable Emergency Recovery Method, depending on its emergency recovery credential type.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Incident Management Systems for emergency recovery tracking.
  • It can interface with Audit Systems for emergency recovery compliance.
  • It can connect to Security Operations Centers for emergency recovery monitoring.
  • It can work with Business Continuity Plans for emergency recovery coordination.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Physical Emergency Recovery Methods, such as:
    • Sealed Emergency Recovery Methods, such as:
      • Break-Glass Recovery Method using emergency recovery physical materials.
      • Safe Deposit Recovery Method storing emergency recovery backup credentials.
    • Escrow Emergency Recovery Methods, such as:
      • Key Escrow Recovery Method holding emergency recovery cryptographic keys.
      • Code Escrow Recovery Method maintaining emergency recovery source access.
  • Digital Emergency Recovery Methods, such as:
    • Delegated Emergency Recovery Methods, such as:
      • Social Recovery Method using emergency recovery trusted contacts.
      • Time-Delayed Recovery Method with emergency recovery waiting periods.
    • Cryptographic Emergency Recovery Methods, such as:
      • Recovery Key Method using emergency recovery master keys.
      • Secret Sharing Recovery Method requiring emergency recovery threshold shares.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Regular Recovery Method, which handles routine recovery scenarios rather than emergency recovery situations.
  • Primary Authentication Method, which provides normal access rather than emergency recovery access.
  • Backup Access Method, which offers alternative access rather than emergency recovery last-resort.
