Crypto Terminal Based On Secure Element For Consumer Trusted Blockchain Transactions

Abstract

Trusted transaction, i.e., private keys protection and malware avoidance is a critical issue for blockchain platforms. This demonstration presents an innovative crypto terminal, whose security relies on two pillars, secure element and full firmware programming. The device uses open hardware and firmware. Its security policy is similar to bank card terminal. A crypto terminal enforces secure key storage, trusted signature, and is able to generate blockchain transactions.
