Cloud CORA Emergency Stop and reset

will be available with subscriptions

What does an "Emergency Stop" do?

1. CORA-X cannot access CORA blocs that have been place into Cloud CORA.
2. All of your secured data will be unavailable until you reset your Emergency status.
3. System information saved to Cloud CORA will be inaccessible until you reset your Emergency status.

Why would I use an "Emergency Stop"?

This should only be used in cases of Emergency; you would not use this because you are going out of town for the weekend.

Consider the following scenarios:

• You have used a portable USB drive to carry CORA blocs with you on the road, and you lose this portable drive.
• Same as above, only someone steals your USB.
• Someone breaks into your home or office and takes your computer.
• Someone breaks into your home or office and steals your portable hard drive.
• One or more CORA blocs may have been compromised with a separate online provider (Cloud).
• One or more CORA blocs have been compromised on your computer, device or data centre.

In each of these scenarios, you fear that your "data may be" at risk. Perhaps you have kept all of the CORA blocs on one device except for a data Key which is on Cloud CORA.

Put your mind at ease.

Initiate an Emergency Stop, then

• use your predefined validation pathway to re-establish your credentials.
• destroy the CORA blocs that synchronize with the stolen CORA blocs. For example, if you have saved CORA blocs to your device, and one to Microsoft Onedrive, and another to CloudCORA, and your computer has been hacked, then delete the CORA blocs in Microsoft's Onedrive, and delete them from CloudCORA after you reset access to CloudCORA.'
• reset your data with your backups.
• lock your data again with a new set of CORA blocs.

Note that the new CORA blocs are independent of the previous data packages - they just don't fit together!

How do I initiate an
Emergency Stop?

There are two ways to initiate an Emergency Stop:

• In CORA-X lite use the "Emergency Stop" menu item in the CORA Actions Menu.
  CORA-X lite must be 'unlocked' in order to process this Emergency Stop.
• When you sign up for your Subscription you are provided with an Emergency Stop URL and you provided a pin/password.
  If your instance of CORA-X lite is unavailable, or you are away from your computer, then you may use this URL with your pin to initiate an Emergency Stop

How do I reset
the Emergency Stop?

You may reset access to your instance of CloudCORA in the following ways:

• You may reset the Emergency Stop from your 'unlocked' instance of CORA-X lite.
• You may use the URL and pin cited above.
• If neither of the above is possible, then you may contact technical support and will receive a call back within 5 business days.
  If you need immediate access to technical support, then a 'prompt' callback is possible at a cost of $20.
