Concepts

Threshold cryptography, explained

Educational on-ramp for Confium. If you're new to threshold crypto, start here.


  • Attribute-based threshold

    →

    Attribute-based threshold predicates. "5-of-9 directors from 3 distinct regions." The DSL that makes quorum policy expressive.

  • Composite signatures

    →

    Hybrid PQ/classical signatures for post-quantum migration. Ed25519 + ECDSA-P256 + ML-DSA-65 verified as one.

  • Threshold cryptography 101

    →

    T-of-N intuition, Shamir secret sharing explained from first principles, why threshold beats single-key. No prior knowledge required.

  • The TLS analogy

    →

    Confium is to threshold cryptography what TLS libraries are to transport security. A configurable framework organizations deploy with their own parameters.

  • Transparency logs

    →

    RFC 6962 Merkle transparency logs. Inclusion proofs, consistency proofs, split-view attacks, witness gossip, OTS anchoring.
