Signatures are pervasive in the design of blockchain bridges, oracles, and custody solutions. Tangle provides signatures as a service using threshold cryptography as a first-class citizen of the protocol.
Developers
Developers can leverage TSS services for enhanced security and key management, ensuring no single point of failure and maintaining signer anonymity.
Validators provide TSS services via a distributed key generation (DKG) protocol to create a key used for threshold signing with Tangle's restaking infrastructure.
TSS offer several core benefits that enhance security, efficiency, and flexibility in various cryptographic applications.
Enhanced Security
By distributing the signing capability among multiple parties, TSS reduce the risk of a single point of failure, making it much harder for attackers to compromise the entire signing process.
Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness
Replacing private keys in multi-signature setups can be complex and costly. TSS allow the generation of different key share combinations without the need for on-chain transactions or exposing the private key.
Flexibility and Privacy
TSS can be executed without revealing which participants in the group have signed, thus maintaining the privacy of the signers and the confidentiality of the transaction.
