Policy Checking

Policy checking in Secubit is enforced directly inside the Hardware Security Module (HSM). Instead of relying on external servers or middleware, the HSM itself validates that each transaction request complies with the security and governance rules defined by the client.

These policies may include quorum approvals, dual control, spending limits, time-based restrictions, or algorithm constraints. Because they are executed inside the secure boundary, they cannot be bypassed by compromised servers or manipulated through network attacks.

When a transaction request reaches the HSM, the module first authenticates the user signature and then evaluates the request against the defined policies. Only if all conditions are satisfied will the HSM proceed to sign the transaction.

By embedding policy checking in hardware, Secubit ensures that governance rules are enforced with cryptographic certainty, not server trust. This guarantees that even privileged insiders or compromised infrastructure cannot override organizational controls.
