Cryptographic Authority
Threshold Cryptography
Cryptography distributing secrets across parties so a defined threshold must cooperate — the mathematical foundation of CLAVI's Rune architecture.
Definition
A branch of cryptography concerned with distributing a secret or cryptographic capability across multiple parties such that a defined subset (the threshold) must cooperate to reconstruct or exercise it. Threshold cryptography generalises the principles behind threshold signing to key generation, decryption, and other operations. It is the mathematical foundation upon which CLAVI's distributed Rune architecture is built — ensuring that no single device ever possesses complete authority.
