Kima Security: TSS + Intel SGX Explained
๐ What does "TSS + Intel SGX" mean in Kimaโs infrastructure?
Letโs break it down ๐
๐งฉ Threshold Secret Sharing (TSS): Instead of a single private key controlling access to funds, the key is split among multiple validators.
โก๏ธ Only when a predefined number (e.g., 3 of 5) agree, the transaction can go through.
- This eliminates single points of failure and enhances trustlessness.
๐ก Intel SGX (Secure Enclave): SGX is a hardware-level security layer that creates an isolated environment (enclave) inside a computerโs CPU.
โก๏ธ Validators run critical operations inside SGX, meaning even if a machine is compromised, private data stays safe.
Together = Unmatched Security
By combining TSS (decentralized trust) with Intel SGX (hardware-level protection), Kima ensures that:
๐ No single entity can move funds
๐ง Private data is shielded even from attackers with system access
๐ซ Eliminates the risk of key leaks and exploits that plague traditional bridges and wallets
