  • Publication number: 20230125611
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for risk mitigation for a cryptoasset custodial system include transmitting an endorsement request for a cryptoasset transaction to a user device configured to cause the user device to prompt a user to endorse the cryptoasset transaction. Multiple data points are collected from mobile devices associated with the user. The data points indicate an identity of the user. A cryptographic endorsement of the cryptoasset transaction is received from the user device. A graphical visualization including a risk metric is generated based on the data points. The risk metric indicates a risk of accepting the cryptographic endorsement from the user device.
    Type: Application

Multiple data points are collected from mobile devices associated with the user. The data points indicate an identity of the user. A cryptographic endorsement of the cryptoasset transaction is received from the user device. A graphical visualization including a risk metric is generated based on the data points. The risk metric indicates a risk of accepting the cryptographic endorsement from the user device. Generating the graphical visualization includes determining whether the plurality of data points matches expected values.

  • Publication number: 20190266576
    Abstract: A digital asset custodial system for maintaining custody of, and controlling access to, cryptocurrencies and/or other digital assets, is disclosed. The digital asset custodial system includes multiple layers of security to enable large volumes of digital assets to be maintained in a secure manner. The digital asset custodial system can include a combination of biometric-based multi-user validation, transaction risk analysis, and a hardware security module (HSM) that provides authentication/validation functionality and secure storage of private keys of digital assets.
