ENTERPRISE-GRADE PROTECTION
Our Hardware-Backend Security Architecture
Chainscore's multi-layered security model isolates cryptographic secrets in certified hardware, ensuring your IoT devices are protected from software-based attacks and physical tampering.
01
HSM-Grade Secure Enclaves
Private keys are generated, stored, and used exclusively within FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). Keys never exist in plaintext outside the secure boundary.

02
Tamper-Evident Hardware
Our provisioning devices feature active anti-tamper meshes and environmental sensors. Any physical intrusion attempt triggers immediate key zeroization, rendering the device cryptographically inert.

Air-Gapped Key Provisioning
Initial key material is loaded into devices via a physically isolated, offline workstation. This eliminates the primary attack vector of network-based key interception during manufacturing.

PREDICTABLE & SECURE
Our Implementation Process
A structured, four-phase approach to deliver a production-ready, audited key management system for your IoT fleet, ensuring zero downtime and full compliance from day one.
01
Architecture & Threat Modeling
We conduct a comprehensive security assessment of your IoT ecosystem to design a zero-trust architecture. This includes defining secure communication channels, key lifecycle policies, and hardware security module (HSM) integration strategies tailored to your device constraints.

CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts.
We architect and deploy custom Solidity/Rust smart contracts that are secure by design. Every contract undergoes a rigorous audit process using both automated tools and manual review, ensuring they meet enterprise-grade security standards before mainnet deployment.
- Custom Logic: Build DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, DAOs, and bespoke business logic.
- Gas Optimization: Write efficient code to reduce transaction costs by up to 40% for your users.
- Upgradeable Patterns: Implement secure proxy patterns (
ERC-1967,UUPS) for future-proof, non-breaking upgrades. - Full Testing Suite: Deliver comprehensive unit and integration tests with >95% coverage.
Deploy battle-tested contracts in weeks, not months, with a clear path from audit to production.
Technical & Commercial Details
IoT Bitcoin Key Management FAQs
Answers to common questions from CTOs and product leads evaluating secure key management for Bitcoin IoT applications.
We implement a multi-layered security architecture: hardware security modules (HSMs) or secure enclaves (like TrustZone) for key generation and storage, air-gapped signing processes, and zero-trust network principles. Keys never exist in plaintext in device memory. Our firmware is built using Rust for memory safety and undergoes formal verification for critical cryptographic operations.
