  • Identity Defense: Harden your PAI against identity takeover attempts.
  • Security Audits: Run audits of local vault configurations and key material to maintain strong security postures.

Quick Start

Use the Citadel skill to audit your vault and rotate certificates: pai run Citadel audit

Frequently Asked Questions about citadel

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage decentralized assets and cryptographic keys securely?

Citadel manages decentralized assets and off-chain keys through local encryption and hardware security module (HSM) integrations, enabling you to maintain full control over key material without relying on third-party platforms. Use `pai run Citadel audit` to verify your vault configuration and key security posture.

Can I use cold-storage keys with hardware security modules for asset protection?

Yes. Citadel integrates HSM solutions to store and manage cold-storage keys, protecting high-value assets against compromise while maintaining encryption control locally. This approach strengthens digital identity sovereignty by keeping keys off vulnerable online systems.

What's the best way to audit vault configurations and rotate certificates?

Run security audits of your local vault using Citadel's audit function to verify key material integrity and certificate status. The Skill supports certificate rotation as part of its security protocol update workflow, ensuring your encryption defenses remain current.

How do I harden my PAI against identity takeover attempts?

Citadel applies identity defense by managing local encryption, off-chain keys, and HSM integrations to prevent unauthorized access to your digital identity. Regular audits and certificate rotation strengthen your security posture against takeover risks.

Do I need a hardware security module to use this for asset management?

No. Citadel supports local encryption and off-chain key management as core features. HSM integration is available for high-value asset scenarios requiring additional security hardening, but not required for basic vault management and audits.

What happens when I run an audit on my vault configuration?

Vault audits verify the integrity of your local encryption, key material, and security certificates. Citadel generates audit-driven status reports that confirm your configuration meets security requirements and identify any areas needing certificate rotation or protocol updates.
