Multi-signature
A mechanism that requires multiple private keys to jointly authorize a transaction before it can be completed, thereby improving asset security.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Multi-signature requires a transaction to be jointly signed by a preset number of private keys before it takes effect; for example, a 3-of-5 multisig means at least 3 of the 5 private keys must participate for a transfer to go through, avoiding a single point of loss of control.
If the authorization workflow shares the same runtime environment as the trading engine, an attacker who gains engine-level privileges may still bypass the signature threshold of multisig or MPC.
