Audit service

From a security perspective it is important that the audit log is kept separate from the system itself.

Blockdaemon delivers an audit log service that integrates nicely with the admin tool.

A Threshold Security Model (TSM) consists of a number of nodes as described elsewhere.
Each node in a TSM will offload its audit log entries to the audit log service. The Blockdaemon audit log service can be exchanged with any external service that accepts log entries in JSON format.

Even though every MPC operation produces audit log entries on multiple servers it is quite easy for non-technical auditors to get a system-wide view of the audit log with one entry pr (logical) operation.

The content of an audit log entry varies depending on the operation. Some fields, however, are common for all or at least most operations: timestamp, userID, operation.
