TrustLock

 

Definition

TrustLock is the VTZ‑isolated virtual HSM that performs all key operations, trust restoration, privilege elevation, signing events, and high‑security identity workflows.

 

Why It Matters

Key mishandling is one of the highest‑impact security failures. TrustLock eliminates the risk by ensuring all sensitive operations occur within a cryptographically isolated trust zone.

 

How It Works

TrustLock stores identity keys, signs trust events, validates restoration workflows, enforces multi‑admin authorization, and prevents key exposure by disallowing export of cryptographic material.
