# Authorization & Key Management Model

Sensitive protocol operations are governed by distributed authorization constraints.

The system is designed such that:

* Critical actions require multi-party validation under defined conditions
* Cryptographic material is isolated from general-purpose runtime environments
* Operational domains are separated to reduce correlated compromise risk

These controls reduce the impact of:

* Insider threat scenarios
* Software-layer compromise
* Key exfiltration attempts

Authorization boundaries are structural, not discretionary.
