Digital asset infrastructure solutions provider io.finnet (iofinnet.com) announced its latest feature: the Virtual Signer. The Virtual Signer enables clients to allocate secret shares for transaction signing to a self-hosted server. The server participates in signing activities on a continuous 24/7 basis. The Virtual Signer utilizes Intel SGX technology to protect signing material and approval logic from both hardware and software attacks. It automates processes, eliminates undesired manual interventions, allows businesses to incorporate their custom business logic directly into the approval and signature flow and approve and co-sign instantly based on pre-defined approval rules. Users could, for example, create a policy that restricts a vault to $100,000 per day in transaction volume or only allows DeFi trades on specific Uniswap markets or restricts transactions to white-listed addresses.
