Digital Paper Wallet Security

Overview

Digital Paper Wallet Security is an unbreachable citadel for your cryptocurrency keys, fortifying Sovereign and HighRisk tier users with zero-knowledge, offline key generation and BIP-39 mnemonic export via the coercion-resistant Key Extraction Protocol (KEX). By leveraging AES-256 GCM encryption and cold storage-like principles, DPW ensures Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other crypto keys remain inaccessible to third parties, including UnoLock, while integrating with DuressDecoy and LifeSafe for duress protection. Exclusively available in Sovereign and HighRisk tiers, this feature delivers ironclad self-sovereignty, safeguarding your digital wealth against all threats.

How It Works

  • Offline Key Generation: Sovereign and HighRisk tier users generate private keys for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Ripple, Cardano, Dogecoin, and Litecoin offline in their browser, ensuring no third-party access, including UnoLock.
  • Client-Side Encryption: Keys are encrypted on the user’s device with AES-256 GCM, stored securely in the vault, and backed up to AWS S3 with pre-signed URLs, remaining unreadable without the decryption key.
  • Coercion-Resistant KEX Export: Keys are exported as BIP-39 mnemonic seed phrases via the Key Extraction Protocol (KEX), splitting phrases across two offline devices with optional multi-device authentication and self-destructing sessions.
  • Cold Storage-Like Vault: Encrypted keys are stored in a vault-like environment, mirroring cold storage security, designed for key management without transaction capabilities or key holding for transactions.

Security Implications

  • Zero-Knowledge Privacy: UnoLock’s zero-knowledge model ensures no access to unencrypted keys, guaranteeing user-only control and eliminating custodial risks in Sovereign and HighRisk tiers.
  • Cold Storage Protection: Offline key generation and encrypted storage shield keys from online threats like phishing, malware, or cloud breaches, providing cold storage-like resilience.
  • Coercion Defense: KEX’s split-device retrieval, combined with DuressDecoy (Sovereign) and LifeSafe (HighRisk), protects keys against physical or legal coercion, ensuring deception or denial of access.

Use Cases

  • High-Stakes Crypto Security: Sovereign tier users generate Ethereum keys offline, exporting mnemonics via KEX to MetaMask, protected by DuressDecoy against coercion in volatile regions.
  • Ultra-Secure Key Management: HighRisk tier users store Solana keys in DPW’s vault, using KEX to export to Phantom Wallet, safeguarded by LifeSafe for maximum coercion resistance.
  • Corporate Crypto Protection: HighRisk tier businesses generate and export Bitcoin keys to hardware wallets via KEX, ensuring corporate assets are secure from cyberattacks and insider threats.

Why It Matters

Digital Paper Wallet Security delivers an unyielding shield for Sovereign and HighRisk tier users, combining zero-knowledge encryption, offline key management, and coercion-resistant KEX export to ensure unparalleled crypto security. In a world of relentless threats, DPW fortifies your digital wealth with absolute sovereignty and resilience.

FAQs

Can UnoLock access my DPW private keys?

No, DPW’s zero-knowledge model ensures keys are generated and encrypted client-side, inaccessible to UnoLock or any third party.

How does KEX secure mnemonic export against coercion?

KEX splits BIP-39 mnemonics across two offline devices with optional multi-device authentication and self-destructing sessions, thwarting coercion, keyloggers, and malware.

Does DPW support cryptocurrency transactions?

No, DPW is designed for secure key generation and storage in Sovereign and HighRisk tiers, exporting keys via KEX to transaction wallets for spending.

Compliance & Privacy Regulations

  • GDPR & HIPAA Compliance: DPW supports GDPR and HIPAA by encrypting keys client-side, ensuring user privacy and control during storage and export in Sovereign and HighRisk tiers.

Integration with Other Features

  • Post-Quantum Encryption Security: Enhances DPW with quantum-resistant AES-256 GCM encryption, safeguarding keys against future quantum threats.
  • DuressDecoy: Complements DPW in the Sovereign tier by enabling decoy actions under coercion, protecting access to sensitive crypto keys.
