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
