SystemTechniques · 7Primitives · 34 custody-wallet Reorg safe chain indexingfinance · medium: Index blockchain events with confirmation depth, reorg rollback and finality trackingEnvelope encryptionsecurity · medium: Encrypt each object with its own data key and wrap that key under a KMS-held key, so rotation re-wraps 60 bytes and deleting a key shreds data.›Hardware root of trustsecurity · medium: Secure elements/TPM/TEE holding device keys, attestation and monotonic countersHardware security module (HSM)security · medium: A tamper-resistant device or service that generates keys, signs, decrypts and wraps with them internally, and releases a key only as ciphertext.›Tamper-evident audit logsecurity · medium: An append-only log whose Merkle root, signed per batch, lets anyone verify an entry is present and history was never rewritten, with log-size proofs.›Threshold ecdsa mpcsecurity · medium: Multi-party ECDSA signing (GG18/CMP-style) with presignatures and key refreshHomomorphic encryptionsecurity · medium: Additively homomorphic ElGamal/Paillier for encrypted tallies and private aggregationIdempotency keysfinance · low: Client-chosen unique key per logical operation, stored with a request fingerprint and the final response, so retries replay the first result instead of acting twice.›Digital signatures (Ed25519)security · low: Small, fast, deterministic public-key signatures that prove who produced a message; the default for tokens, releases and protocols.›ECDSA signaturessecurity · low: The elliptic-curve signature standardised in FIPS 186-5 (P-256) and used by secp256k1 ledgers; 64-byte signatures, but a repeated or biased nonce leaks the private key.›Shamir secret sharing (k-of-n)security · low: Split a secret into n shares so any k reconstruct it and any k-1 reveal nothing at all, using a random polynomial over a finite field.›Checksummed address encodingdata-structures · low: Base58Check, Bech32 and EIP-55 address encodings with error-detecting checksumsHierarchical deterministic keysfinance · low: BIP-32/39/44 seed phrases and child-key derivation paths for walletsAuthorization models (RBAC, ABAC, R…security · low: How to decide who may do what to which object; roles for coarse rules, relationships for sharing, and checks on every object.›Elliptic curve arithmeticsecurity · low: Point addition, doubling and constant-time scalar multiplication in projective coordinatesHKDF key derivation (extract-and-ex…security · low: HMAC-based two-step key derivation: extract a uniform pseudorandom key from any secret, then expand it into as many context-bound keys as you need.›Hierarchical state machinesystems · low: Nest states so a substate inherits its parent's reactions and only overrides what differs, with ordered entry and exit actions along the path.›Message sequence numbersdistributed · low: A per-stream counter on every message lets the receiver detect loss, duplicates and reordering, ack cheaply and resume after reconnect with "send from N".›Journaled state revertstorage · low: Undo journal of state writes enabling nested checkpoints and cheap revertAEAD (AES-GCM, ChaCha20-Poly1305)security · low: Authenticated encryption that encrypts and detects tampering in one call; the only kind of symmetric encryption you should use.›Aes key wrapsecurity · low: AES Key Wrap (RFC 3394/5649) and AES-GCM-SIV for deterministic, authenticated wrapping of key materialCsprngsecurity · low: OS-backed cryptographically secure random numbers (getrandom), and when a fast PRNG is not enoughCryptographic hashes (SHA-2, BLAKE3)security · low: Collision-resistant fingerprints of data; SHA-256 for interoperability, BLAKE3 for speed, HMAC/HKDF for keyed uses.›+ 18 more primitives
