  • Strong knowledge of key protection and secure signing mechanisms, including MPC, HSMs, key lifecycle management, and transaction signing controls.
  • Understanding of transaction policy frameworks including allowlists, thresholds, dual controls, and exception management to prevent unauthorized movements.
  • Knowledge of blockchain- and crypto-specific fraud considerations, including account takeover, address manipulation, and transaction finality.
