# Security

> Non-custodial architecture, TEEs, encryption, and key handling

Security is foundational to Lute. Funds remain in your control with a non‑custodial design and industry‑leading protections.

## Architecture

* **Non‑custodial**: You control your keys and assets
* **Direct protocol integrations**: No pooled custody
* **Decentralized execution**: On‑chain settlement

## Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)

Sensitive operations are protected using TEEs for defense‑in‑depth. Not even Lute can access this information ensuring your information and actions stay private.

## Key handling

* **Privy partnership** for secure key management
* **Export controls**: Keys exportable only after creation; store securely

## Encryption

State‑of‑the‑art cryptography and encryption across data in transit and at rest.

<Warning>
  Users are responsible for safely handling exported or imported private keys and should never share keys with another individual.
