Frequently Asked Questions
The CASP Orchestrator is the heart of the CASP system. It communicates with all parts of the system, initiates creation of the key shares for the vault, manages the different distributed procedures, and acts as the external entry point for the relevant applications, such as the crypto asset applications.
The CASP Orchestrator is backed by the powerful key management capabilities of Unbound Key Control (UKC). UKC works together with the Participants to provide the complete approval signature for transactions, where Participants can be mobile devices, desktops, servers, bots, or offline participants. CASP creates an ECDSA key, EdDSA key, or a key with BIP derivation, which is used for all transactions.
CASP’s open architecture enables communication with different types of crypto-asset ledgers. For example, the BTC wallet enables communication with a Bitcoin ledger. It prepares a transaction from the available ledger data and sends it to CASP. CASP then signs the transaction and returns it, which then transmits the signed transaction to the ledger. CASP seamlessly works with many different types of ledgers.
