Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to methods, systems, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer readable media for managing cryptocurrency. A cryptocurrency management system has a cryptocurrency management device (CMD), a mobile communication device (MCD), and a cryptocurrency management server (CMS) that are each configured to store a respective private key for use in generating a respective authenticating signature for a multi-signature address of a cryptocurrency network. Any two of the three authenticating signatures capable of being generated by the CMD, MCD, and CMS may be combined to generate a fully authenticated request for transferring cryptocurrency associated with the multi-signature address. The system provides the user with a flexible self-custody solution that permits him or her to transfer cryptocurrency without having to access the private key stored at the CMS. However, the CMS enables for recovery in the event of loss or unavailability of one or both of the CMD and/or the MCD.

Abstract: A system for managing and using digital financial assets, such as cryptocurrency uses multiple independent devices that mutually cooperate to control cryptocurrency assets in a secure manner. Each of these devices may store a unique private key associated with the cryptocurrency assets, which may be configured such that a certain minimum number of these private keys are required to transfer the cryptocurrency assets. The use of multiple private keys spread across multiple distinct devices may reduce the likelihood of loss stemming from a hardware failure or reduce the likelihood of an attacker successfully gaining access to the cryptocurrency assets. In addition, selection of the devices to be used for storing these private keys, as well as how many private keys are required to authorize a transaction, may be tailored to balance a user's preferences for reliability of access versus security and for third-party custody versus self-custody.

Abstract: A system for locally authenticating a transaction of digital financial assets, such as cryptocurrency. A first device may locally store financial assets in non- volatile memory of the first device. The first device may use the locally-stored financial assets to conduct a local transaction with a second device. The first device may generate a transaction settlement data token and exchange the token with the second device, wherein the transaction settlement data token includes information specific to the local transaction, a value associated with the local transaction, and encrypted personal information associated with the first device. After receiving a confirmation of transmission from the second device, the value associated with the local transaction may be debited from the locally-stored financial assets.
