  Escrow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Escrow is a legal arrangement whereby an asset (often money, but sometimes other property such as art, a deed of title, website, or software source code) is delivered to a third party (called an escrow agent) to be held in trust pending a contingency or the fulfillment of a condition or conditions in a contract.
Upon that event occurring, the escrow agent will deliver the asset to the proper recipient, otherwise the escrow agent is bound by his or her fiduciary duty to maintain the escrow account.
While escrow is best known in the context of real estate (specifically in mortgages where the mortgage company will establish an escrow account to pay property tax and insurance), escrow companies are also commonly used in the transfer of higher value properties like websites and businesses and in relation to person to person auctions (eBay).

 The Risks Of "Key Recovery," "Key Escrow," And "Trusted Third-Party" Encryption | 1998
Key recovery is sometimes also called "key escrow." The term "escrow" became popular in connection with the U.S. government's Clipper Chip initiative, in which a master key to each encryption device was held "in escrow" for release to law enforcement.
Other systems have "escrow agents" or "key recovery agents" that maintain the ability to recover the keys for a particular encrypted communication session or stored file; these systems require that such "session keys" be encrypted with a key known by a recovery agent and included with the data.
The reason the Escrowed Encryption Standard had flaws is that good security is an extremely difficult technical problem to start with, and key recovery adds enormous complications with requirements unlike anything previously encountered.
