An Offline Signing Orchestrator (OSO) is a security protocol that allows for the signing of transactions in an offline environment. This is done to reduce the risk of exposure to online threats such as hackers and malware. The signed transaction is then broadcasted to the blockchain network in an online environment.

1. Air-gapped security

OSO isolates the entire system from the Internet, creating a strong barrier against cyberattacks. This means your digital assets are protected from online threats, providing an extra level of defense.

2. Enhanced security measures

OSO introduces innovative features like multi-party approvals, time-based security, and automated signing. 

(a.) Multi-party approvals ensure that more than one person needs to authorize a transaction, making it harder for unauthorized access. 

(b.) Time-based security allows transactions only at specific times, reducing the risk of attacks.

(C.) Automated signing removes the need for an online connection, making the process more secure and efficient.

3. Collaboration with Metaco

 OSO works hand-in-hand with Metaco's Harmonize platform, a leading solution for institutional custody of digital assets. This collaboration streamlines transaction management, provides detailed audit trails, and helps meet regulatory requirements, making the system transparent. 

1. It has enhanced scalability when compared to traditional cold storage solutions because of 24x7 on-demand approval of transactions, which allows thousands of transactions per day under strict policy control

2. Complete audit capability of all code deployment and updates to ensure that no manipulation is taken place to compromise its security

3. Built with unique technologies such as the encrypted and uni-directional communication channels, which are known as HiperSockets, to enhance the security

4. Built on technology that implements the principles of “zero trust” to improve the security and eliminate the threat of malicious attacks

5. Eliminating the requirement for data center staff to manually operate the cold storage transactions, creating greater efficiency, decreasing the cost of operations, and reducing the risk of human errors.
