Key access control is the system and procedures that govern who or what can access cryptographic keys, which are essential for controlling digital assets and authorizing transactions. Effective key access control ensures that only authorized entities can sign transactions, manage wallets, or decrypt sensitive information. This involves robust authentication mechanisms, permission management, and secure storage solutions. It forms a fundamental layer of security for any digital asset operation.
