Compliance

Clique Wallet is designed with compliance and regulatory considerations in mind, implementing security practices and controls that align with industry standards and best practices for custodial wallet services.

Security Standards

Clique Wallet's security architecture follows industry best practices for protecting sensitive financial data and cryptographic assets. The use of hardware-level security through TEE technology provides a foundation that exceeds many software-based security implementations, ensuring that private keys and sensitive data are protected at the silicon level.

The multi-layered security approach—combining TEE protection, encryption at rest and in transit, data integrity verification, and comprehensive access controls—creates a defense-in-depth strategy that addresses multiple security requirements simultaneously.

Data Protection

Clique Wallet implements comprehensive data protection measures that align with data protection regulations and privacy standards. All user data is encrypted, and the architecture ensures that sensitive information cannot be accessed by unauthorized parties, including service operators. This approach provides strong privacy protections while maintaining the functionality required for wallet operations.

The TEE-based architecture ensures that even in the event of data breaches or system compromises, private keys and sensitive user data remain cryptographically protected and inaccessible to attackers.

Security Audits

Clique Wallet's security architecture is designed to be auditable and verifiable. The use of Intel SGX provides cryptographic attestation capabilities, including remote attestation, that allow verification that code is running in a genuine TEE environment on authentic Intel processors. Remote attestation enables third parties to cryptographically verify the integrity and authenticity of the TEE enclave remotely, without requiring physical access to the system.

This remote attestation capability enables third-party security audits and assessments to verify the security properties of the system, ensuring that the TEE is running the expected code and that the hardware protection is functioning correctly.

Regular security assessments and audits help ensure that Clique Wallet maintains the highest security standards and identifies potential improvements to the security posture.

Regulatory Considerations

As a custodial wallet service, Clique Wallet is designed with regulatory compliance in mind. The architecture ensures that private keys remain inaccessible to service operators, addressing concerns about custodial control while providing the convenience benefits of custodial services.

The security controls, data protection measures, and audit capabilities built into Clique Wallet's architecture support compliance with various regulatory frameworks and industry standards that may apply to digital asset custody and wallet services.
