Abstract
A decryption key is recovered that is utilized to decrypt an encrypted resource. For example, a determination is made as to whether a user and/or the user's computing device attempting to access an encrypted resource has the necessary attributes to access the resource and/or is in a valid location in which the user is required to be to access the resource. The attributes and/or location are defined by a policy assigned to the resource. To verify that the user has the required attributes, a proof is requested from the user that proves that the user has the required attributes. Upon validating the proof, the decryption key is generated and/or retrieved.
