An unsigned destination transaction is also generated. The unsigned destination transaction identifies the generated consolidation address as an input and the withdrawal destination as an output. A signed version of each consolidation transaction and a signed version of the destination transaction are received from a signing enclave. The signing enclave is included in a client device of the user.
