Cryptographic Authority
Key Ceremony
A formal auditable process for generating or distributing cryptographic keys under controlled conditions — transformed by CLAVI into distributed sovereign key governance.
Definition
A formal, auditable process for generating, distributing, or rotating cryptographic keys under controlled conditions. In institutional custody, key ceremonies involve multiple witnesses, air-gapped environments, and documented chain-of-custody procedures. CLAVI’s distributed Rune architecture transforms what was once a singular, high-stakes ritual into a distributed, ongoing practice of sovereign key governance.
