Abstract

Blockchain transactions are signed by private keys. Secure key storage and tamper resistant computing, are critical requirements for deployments of trusted infrastructure. In this paper we identify some threats against blockchain wallets, and we introduce a set of physical and logical countermeasures in order to defeat them. We introduce open software and hardware architectures based on secure elements, which enable detection of cloned device and corrupted software. These technologies are based on resistant computing (javacard), smartcard anti cloning, smartcard self content attestation, applicative firewall, bare metal architecture, remote attestation, dynamic PUF (Physical Unclonable Function), and programming token as root of trust.
