Innovative Countermeasures to Defeat Cyber Attacks Against Blockchain Wallets: A Crypto Terminal Use Case
Résumé
Blockchain transactions are signed by private keys. Secure key storage and tamper-proof computers are essential requirements for deploying a trusted infrastructure. In this paper, we identify some threats against blockchain wallets and propose a set of physical and logical countermeasures to thwart them. We present the crypto terminal device, operating with a removable secure element, built on open software and hardware architectures, capable of detecting a cloned device or corrupted software. These technologies are based on tamper-resistant computing (javacard), smart card anti-cloning, smart card content attestation, application firewall, bare-metal architecture, remote attestation, dynamic Physical Unclonable Function (dPUF), and programming tokens as a root of trust.
