Lux KMS

Enterprise key management with HSM integration.

  • HSM Integration: AWS CloudHSM, Azure Dedicated HSM, Thales
  • Key Rotation: Automatic rotation with configurable policies
  • Audit Logging: Complete audit trail for all key operations
  • Multi-Region: Global key distribution with regional isolation
import { LuxKMS } from '@luxfi/kms';

const kms = new LuxKMS({
  region: 'us-east-1',
  hsmProvider: 'aws-cloudhsm',
});

const key = await kms.generateKey({
  type: 'ECDSA_SECP256K1',
  usage: ['sign', 'verify'],
  rotation: '90d',
});

const signature = await kms.sign({
  keyId: key.id,
  message: transactionHash,
  algorithm: 'ECDSA_SHA256',
});

See Lux KMS for full documentation.

Lux MPC

Multi-party computation for self-hosted custody.

  • Threshold Signing: 2-of-3, 3-of-5, or custom threshold schemes
  • Key Sharding: Shamir's Secret Sharing for key distribution
  • Cold Storage: Offline key generation and signing
  • Recovery: Social recovery with trusted parties
import { LuxMPC } from '@luxfi/mpc';

const mpc = new LuxMPC({
  threshold: 2,
  parties: 3,
  keyShareHolders: [
    { id: 'party1', endpoint: 'https://party1.internal' },
    { id: 'party2', endpoint: 'https://party2.internal' },
    { id: 'party3', endpoint: 'https://party3.internal' },
  ],
});

const wallet = await mpc.generateWallet({ chain: 'polygon', currency: 'USDC' });
const signature = await mpc.sign({
  walletId: wallet.id,
  transaction: { to: recipientAddress, value: amount, data: transferData },
});

Supported Protocols

Lux IAM

Enterprise identity and access management.

  • SSO Integration: SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0
  • Role-Based Access: Fine-grained permissions
  • Multi-Factor Auth: TOTP, WebAuthn, SMS
  • Audit Logging: Complete access audit trail

See Lux IAM for full documentation.

Post-Quantum Security

Future-proof cryptography via Lux Node.

  • ML-KEM: X25519MLKEM768, SecP256r1MLKEM768, SecP384r1MLKEM1024
  • Lattice-Based Crypto: CRYSTALS-Kyber, CRYSTALS-Dilithium
  • Hash-Based Signatures: SPHINCS+
  • Hybrid Mode: Combined classical + post-quantum
  • TLS 1.3: Post-quantum key exchange enabled by default
import { LuxNode } from '@luxfi/node';

const node = new LuxNode({
  network: 'mainnet',
  crypto: {
    mode: 'hybrid',
    pqAlgorithm: 'dilithium3',
    classicAlgorithm: 'ecdsa-secp256k1',
  },
});

const keypair = await node.crypto.generateKeypair({ algorithm: 'dilithium3' });

Security Best Practices

Key Management

  1. Never store private keys in plaintext
  2. Use HSM for production key storage
  3. Implement key rotation policies
  4. Maintain secure key backup procedures

Access Control

  1. Implement least-privilege principle
  2. Require MFA for sensitive operations
  3. Regular access reviews
  4. Audit all privileged actions

Network Security

  1. Use private networks for internal services
  2. Implement network segmentation
  3. Enable DDoS protection
  4. Monitor for anomalous traffic

Monitoring & Alerts

import { LuxMonitoring } from '@luxfi/monitoring';

const monitoring = new LuxMonitoring({
  services: ['kms', 'mpc', 'iam', 'node'],
  alerts: {
    slack: process.env.SLACK_WEBHOOK,
    pagerduty: process.env.PAGERDUTY_KEY,
  },
});

monitoring.alert({
  name: 'high-value-transaction',
  condition: 'transaction.amount > 100000',
  severity: 'warning',
});

monitoring.alert({
  name: 'mpc-signing-failure',
  condition: 'mpc.signing.error',
  severity: 'critical',
});
