ENTERPRISE-GRADE SECURITY
Core Architecture & Capabilities
Our key management system is engineered for institutional-grade security and operational resilience, providing the foundational trust layer for your most critical Web3 applications.
01
HSM-Backed Key Generation
Private keys are generated and stored exclusively within FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), ensuring keys never exist in plaintext outside secure hardware.
FIPS 140-2 L3
Certification
Zero Exposure
Key Policy
02
Multi-Party Computation (MPC)
Eliminate single points of failure with threshold signature schemes (TSS). Sign transactions without ever reconstituting a full private key, distributing trust across multiple parties.

03
Policy-Based Access Control
Define granular, role-based policies for transaction approval. Set rules for amounts, destinations, time-locks, and required multi-signature quorums to enforce strict governance.

PROVEN PROCESS
Our Delivery Methodology
We deliver enterprise-grade key management through a structured, security-first approach designed for compliance and rapid integration. Our methodology ensures predictable outcomes, from initial design to production deployment.
01
Architecture & Threat Modeling
We begin with a comprehensive security assessment, defining key hierarchies, access policies, and threat models tailored to your compliance needs (SOC 2, GDPR). This phase establishes the foundation for a secure, auditable system.
