METHOD FOR DIGITAL CURRENCY INTRA-CHAIN AND CROSS-CHAIN OFF-CHAIN PAYMENTS BASED ON TRUSTED HARDWARE
Publication number: 20250299186Abstract: A method for digital currency intra-chain and cross-chain off-chain payments based on trusted hardware. By creating and transferring a public-private key pair saved and managed by a trusted hardware system to replace the on-chain payment, the trusted hardware ensures the security of the transaction, avoids complicated on-chain transaction steps, reduces the long on-chain transaction time and high on-chain transaction cost, and neglects the differences among blockchain systems to support cross-chain transactions, thus greatly improving the intra-chain and cross-chain off-chain payment efficiency in digital currency and greatly reducing the payment cost in digital currency. In addition, on the basis of the above payment method, the corresponding rescue object generation process of different digital currency types and the process of using the rescue object to retrieve digital currency are further proposed, which avoids the problem of asset loss caused by the damage or loss of trusted hardware.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2025Publication date: September 25, 2025Inventors: Jian LIU, Di WU, Kui REN, Wu WEN -
