Core Components of Our Key Management System
Our modular architecture delivers the cryptographic security and operational resilience required for production-grade private voting. Each component is built to enterprise standards, ensuring your governance remains secure, compliant, and tamper-proof.
Hardware Security Module (HSM) Integration
Private keys are generated, stored, and used exclusively within FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified HSMs. This eliminates single points of failure and ensures keys are never exposed in plaintext, even to our own operators.
Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS)
We implement distributed key generation and signing using advanced TSS protocols. No single entity holds a complete key, requiring a pre-defined threshold of participants to authorize any transaction, drastically reducing insider and external attack risks.
Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC) Network
Our geographically distributed node network performs cryptographic operations via MPC. Votes are tallied and signatures are computed without ever reconstructing the full private key, maintaining privacy and integrity throughout the governance lifecycle.
Policy Engine & Access Control
Define and enforce granular signing policies based on transaction type, amount, and participant roles. All authorization events are immutably logged on-chain for complete auditability and compliance reporting.
Automated Key Lifecycle Management
Systematic processes for key rotation, backup, and disaster recovery. Supports scheduled rotations and emergency re-keying without service interruption, ensuring long-term security and compliance with regulatory standards.
Real-Time Monitoring & Alerting
24/7 monitoring of system health, signer availability, and anomalous activity. Integrates with your existing SIEM and triggers instant alerts for any policy violation or security event, enabling proactive incident response.
Why DAOs Trust Our Key Management
We provide the cryptographic infrastructure that powers governance for leading DAOs, ensuring every vote is secure, verifiable, and tamper-proof.
Gas-Optimized Execution
Batch processing and efficient circuit design reduce voting transaction costs by up to 70% compared to baseline implementations.
Cross-Chain Governance Support
Manage voting keys and execute proposals across Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism from a single administrative interface.
SOC 2 Type II Compliant Infrastructure
Our key management nodes run in certified, air-gapped environments with 24/7 monitoring, intrusion detection, and disaster recovery.
Build vs. Buy: Key Management for Private Voting
Compare the total cost, risk, and timeline of developing a secure key management system in-house versus using Chainscore's managed service.
| Key Factor | Build In-House | Chainscore Managed Service |
|---|---|---|
Time to Production | 6-12 months | 4-8 weeks |
Upfront Development Cost | $150K - $400K+ | $0 |
Annual Operational Cost | $80K - $200K (DevOps, on-call) | $25K - $100K |
Security & Audit Burden | High (Your team's responsibility) | Low (Pre-audited, SOC 2 Type II compliant) |
Key Storage & Rotation | Custom implementation (High risk) | HSM-backed with automated rotation |
Disaster Recovery | Requires custom design & testing | Multi-region failover included |
Compliance (GDPR, CCPA) | Complex self-certification | Built-in privacy controls & attestations |
Integration Complexity | High (Build API, SDK, docs) | Low (Pre-built SDKs & APIs) |
Ongoing Protocol Updates | Manual upgrades required | Handled automatically by Chainscore |
Support & SLAs | Internal team only | 24/7 engineering support with 99.9% SLA |
Our Delivery Methodology
We deliver secure, production-ready private voting infrastructure through a structured, transparent process designed for enterprise-grade reliability and rapid integration.
Discovery & Architecture Design
We conduct a technical deep-dive to define your specific voting logic, governance model, and threat landscape. We deliver a detailed architecture document covering key management flows, MPC protocols, and integration points.
Secure MPC Infrastructure Setup
We deploy our battle-tested Multi-Party Computation (MPC) nodes in your chosen cloud environment (AWS/GCP/Azure). Includes hardware security module (HSM) integration, network isolation, and comprehensive access controls.
Smart Contract & SDK Integration
We develop and audit the on-chain voting contracts (e.g., Snapshot-compatible) and provide a lightweight SDK for your dApp. Includes gas optimization and comprehensive event logging.
Penetration Testing & Audit
Our infrastructure and smart contracts undergo rigorous internal testing followed by a review from our external security partners. You receive a final audit report before go-live.
Staged Deployment & Key Ceremony
We manage a controlled rollout from testnet to mainnet, including the secure distributed key generation (DKG) ceremony for trustee nodes. Full disaster recovery procedures are validated.
Monitoring & Continuous Support
We provide a dedicated dashboard for real-time vote integrity monitoring, node health, and alerting. Includes SLA-backed support, quarterly security reviews, and protocol upgrade management.
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for your specific business logic.
We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM and Solana that power your core business. Our process delivers audit-ready code in weeks, not months.
- From Concept to Mainnet: Full lifecycle development from specification to deployment and monitoring.

Key Management for Private Voting: FAQs
Get clear, specific answers to the most common questions CTOs and technical founders ask about implementing secure, production-ready key management for private voting applications.
For a standard implementation with a defined voting mechanism (e.g., quadratic voting, token-weighted), we deliver a production-ready system in 3-5 weeks. This includes architecture design, smart contract development, key ceremony automation, and integration with your frontend. Complex multi-chain or custom cryptographic schemes may extend to 8-10 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones after the initial scoping call.
