Definition ∞ Delegated key generation involves an authorized entity or protocol creating cryptographic keys on behalf of another party. This method can streamline key management processes, particularly in complex distributed systems, by centralizing or semi-centralizing the creation of digital identities. It requires careful trust assumptions and robust security protocols.
Context ∞ In digital asset management, delegated key generation could simplify user onboarding and asset custody for institutions or large-scale applications. However, it also introduces a potential point of compromise if the delegating authority’s security is breached, necessitating strong governance and auditing frameworks to maintain trust and control.
