I run a small operation providing websites/online storage/email for a couple of friends and small businesses, and I use this as recovery solution to a master key. I distributed the encrypted very big master key, full system documentation and a part of the decryption key to the master key to a couple of people including a public notary. This way, should it ever get necessary, it will be possible for them to access my encrypted files. Say I get hit by a bus or something similar.

Thank you, Shamir!
