Cellular Wallet Transfer Using Temporary Wallets and Presigned Transactions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Transferring cryptocurrency is complex due to the use of authentication methods like passwords or passkeys, creating barriers to use and potential security vulnerabilities.
Innovation Solution
A decentralized cryptocurrency transfer system using a cellular device as a server for wallet administration, employing an ASIC-resistant and GPU-resistant hashing algorithm to generate and regenerate private keys, and utilizing a trusted third-party for presigned transactions to enhance security and simplify transfers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If authentication methods (passwords or passkeys) are used to access wallets, then security is improved, but complexity and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service authentication where the cellular device automatically manages wallet access without requiring user intervention for authentication. The device uses its own authentication mechanisms (biometric, PIN, or other device-based methods) to automatically authenticate wallet transactions, eliminating the need for users to manually enter passwords or passkeys while maintaining security through the device's built-in authentication services.
2Ease of operation
If centralized wallet administration is used, then ease of operation is improved, but security and reliability deteriorate due to hacking risks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the wallet administration function from centralized servers and relocates it to the user's cellular device. Each device becomes an independent wallet administrator that locally manages private keys and authentication, eliminating the centralized point of failure that is vulnerable to hacking. The device uses its own secure enclave or hardware security module to store and manage cryptographic credentials, ensuring that even if the network is compromised, the wallet remains secure.
3Reliability
If complex authentication methods are implemented, then security is improved, but device complexity and manufacturing complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system leverages the cellular device's existing multi-functional authentication capabilities (biometric sensors, hardware security modules, PIN entry mechanisms, and network communication) to serve the wallet authentication function. Rather than implementing dedicated complex authentication hardware, the patent reuses the device's universal authentication infrastructure that already exists for locking the device, enabling two-factor authentication, and other security functions, thereby avoiding additional complexity while maintaining strong security.

AI summary
Technologies are described herein for the administration of cryptocurrency. A currency transfer server is used to support the administration of a user wallet using a device capable of communicating via a cellular network. A coin transfer application receives instructions on how much cryptocurrency to send and the cellular number to which the cryptocurrency is to be sent. A temporary wallet is instantiated to receive the transfer, whereby the recipient receives a withdrawal code using a messaging application from the sender. Once received, the recipient can transfer the cryptocurrency from the temporary wallet to the recipient’s wallet or use the temporary wallet as the permanent wallet.
