This invention describes a system that helps you securely manage and spend your cryptocurrency. It works by splitting your digital keys: your public address is stored on a smart device like your phone, while your secret private key is kept safe on a separate, dedicated hardware device. When you want to make a payment, the hardware device temporarily connects to your phone to digitally sign the transaction, which your phone then broadcasts to the network.
Why it matters: Since 2019, the widespread integration capabilities of smart devices with external hardware have matured, making the user experience for secure mobile cryptocurrency transactions more seamless. This enhances the practicality of a system separating keys between a mobile device and a dedicated hardware security module.
