Secure Digital Assets with a Hardware Root of Trust
Protect private keys, secure transaction signing, and build institutional-grade resilience across custody and blockchain infrastructure.
The Stakes: Billions Lost, Trust at Risk
Digital assets process transaction volumes rivaling legacy financial networks, making them high-value targets for sophisticated attacks
$2.17B+ Stolen
Digital asset theft in 2025 alone exceeded total losses from all of 2024.
43.8% Key Compromises
Private key compromise remains the single greatest failure point across the digital asset ecosystem.
Software-Only Vulnerabilities
Storing keys in application or host memory exposes operations to OS breaches, memory scrapers, and weak entropy.
Irreversible Loss
Compromised credentials result in immediate, unrecoverable theft of treasury and client assets.
HSMs Matter: Hardware-Anchored Key Lifecycle
Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) provide the physical and cryptographic boundaries required to secure high-value digital asset operations across hot, warm, and cold storage
Tamper-Resistant Storage
Private keys are generated using hardware TRNG entropy and remain inside certified hardware boundaries.
Isolated Signing
Cryptographic operations run in dedicated hardware, preventing side-channel attacks and malware injection.
Policy Controls
Role-based access rules and multi-party authorization quorums execute directly within the hardware perimeter.
Hardened MPC & Multi-Sig:
Anchors distributed signing schemes to physical hardware, eliminating single points of failure without operational drag.
Digital Asset Security Backed by Luna HSMs
Thales Luna HSMs provide a certified hardware root of trust for digital asset platforms by securing private keys and signing operations inside tamper-resistant hardware. Available in multiple form factors, on-premises or as a service, they help keep keys isolated from application layers, online systems, and cloud environments while supporting control, governance, and regulatory alignment.
Global Digital Asset Regulatory Compliance Matrix
Financial authorities increasingly require institutional custodians, stablecoin issuers, and virtual asset trading platforms (VATPs) to enforce hardware-grade operational resilience:
Hong Kong
(SFC & HKMA
Enforces virtual asset trading platform (VATP) guidelines and the Stablecoins Regulatory Framework requiring certified storage for hot, warm, and cold wallets.
Singapore
(MAS)
Australian signals directorate’s ISM: List of approved cryptographic algorithms for use beyond 2030.
Secure critical infrastructure: prioritize cybersecurity and manage risks in quantum technology adoption.
South Korea
(KoFIU & KISA)
Act on Reporting and Using Specified Financial Transaction Information and ISMS standards require segregated custody controls.
Taiwan
(FSC & TVA)
Taiwan VASP Association Self-Regulatory Code dictates multi-tier authorization workflows and certified hardware key isolation.
