Overview

This guide details the comprehensive security architecture integrating Bitcoin, Web5, and ML components.

Core Security Components

1. Multi-Layer Authentication

2. Hardware Security Module (HSM) Integration

The Anya Core platform now implements a comprehensive Hardware Security Module (HSM) integration with multiple provider types:

Provider Types

  • Software HSM: Development and testing environment with secure key storage
  • Hardware HSM: Integration with physical devices (YubiHSM, Ledger, Trezor)
  • Simulator HSM: Testing environment simulating HSM behavior
  • Bitcoin HSM: Specialized for Bitcoin operations with HD wallet support

Key Features

  • Secure key generation and storage
  • Cryptographic operations (signing, verification, encryption)
  • Multiple key types (RSA, EC, AES, Ed25519)
  • Bitcoin-specific operations with Taproot support
  • Comprehensive audit logging

Configuration Example

hsm:
  provider_type: BitcoinHsm
  audit_enabled: true
  bitcoin:
    network: Testnet
    derivation_path_template: "m/84'/1'/0'/0/{index}"
    use_taproot: true
    confirm_transactions: true

Security Benefits

  • Hardware-backed cryptographic operations
  • Secure storage of private keys
  • Comprehensive audit trail
  • Protection against key exfiltration
  • Support for Bitcoin-specific operations
