Comprehensive Security Protocols & Asset Protection

Defense-in-Depth Strategy

Security-First Philosophy

Security is not a feature at IDCXS; it is our most fundamental design principle. We employ a defense-in-depth strategy, layering multiple physical, technical, and procedural controls to protect our platform and users.

1. Asset Security Framework

1.1 Cold Storage Majority (98%+)

The vast majority of user digital assets are held in multi-signature, air-gapped cold storage wallets that provide maximum protection against cyber threats:

Cold Storage Features

  • Air-gapped wallets: Completely isolated from internet connectivity
  • Multi-signature protection: Requires multiple authorized signatures for any transaction
  • Geographic distribution: Stored across multiple secure locations
  • Executive approval: Coordinated action from multiple high-level executives required
  • Physical security: Bank-grade vaults with biometric access controls

1.2 Hardware Security Modules (HSMs)

All private keys are generated and stored in FIPS 140-2 Level 3+ certified Hardware Security Modules:

  • Tamper-resistant and tamper-evident hardware
  • Secure key generation using true random number generators
  • Protection against physical and logical attacks
  • Cryptographic operations performed within secure boundaries
  • Audit trails for all key management operations

1.3 Secure Hot Wallets

A small portion of assets is maintained in semi-online hot wallets for operational liquidity, protected by multiple security layers:

  • IP address whitelisting and geographic restrictions
  • Transaction velocity limits and daily withdrawal caps
  • Real-time monitoring for suspicious activity
  • Automated risk controls and fraud detection
  • Multi-factor authentication for all operations

2. Platform & Infrastructure Security

2.1 End-to-End Encryption

Data in Transit

  • • TLS 1.3 encryption
  • • Perfect Forward Secrecy
  • • Certificate pinning
  • • HSTS enforcement

Data at Rest

  • • AES-256 encryption
  • • Database-level encryption
  • • Encrypted backups
  • • Key rotation policies

2.2 Network Security

Comprehensive network protection includes:

  • Web Application Firewall (WAF): Advanced filtering of malicious web traffic
  • DDoS Protection: Multi-layered defense against distributed denial-of-service attacks
  • Intrusion Detection: Real-time monitoring and threat detection systems
  • Network Segmentation: Isolated network zones with strict access controls
  • VPN Security: Secure remote access for authorized personnel

2.3 Application Security

Our application security measures include:

  • Secure software development lifecycle (SDLC)
  • Regular code reviews and security testing
  • Automated vulnerability scanning
  • Dependency management and security patching

3. User Account Security

3.1 Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Mandatory two-factor authentication for all users includes support for:

Authenticator Apps

Google Authenticator, Authy

Hardware Keys

YubiKey, FIDO2

Biometric

Fingerprint, Face ID

3.2 Advanced Account Protection

Additional security features include:

  • Anti-phishing codes: Personalized codes in all official communications
  • Device management: Registration and monitoring of trusted devices
  • Withdrawal address whitelisting: Pre-approved destination addresses
