SECURITY-FIRST METHODOLOGY
Our Development & Hardening Process
We build and harden light clients for constrained devices using a rigorous, multi-layered process designed for the unique security challenges of embedded systems and IoT.
01
Threat Modeling & Architecture Review
We begin with a formal threat model (STRIDE) to identify attack vectors specific to your device's hardware and network environment. This ensures security is foundational, not an afterthought.
STRIDE

OWASP
IoT Top 10
02
Memory-Safe Implementation
We develop core logic in Rust or C with MISRA-C guidelines to eliminate buffer overflows and memory corruption—critical for devices with no memory protection units (MPUs).

Cryptographic Hardening
We implement and audit all cryptographic operations (signatures, hashing, key derivation) for side-channel resistance and constant-time execution on low-power MCUs.

Light Client Security for IoT: FAQs
Get answers to the most common technical and commercial questions about securing blockchain connectivity for your constrained IoT devices.
Standard deployments take 4-6 weeks from kickoff to production-ready firmware. This includes a 2-week architecture and cryptographic design phase, 2-3 weeks of implementation and integration, and 1 week for final security validation and device testing. Complex integrations with custom hardware security modules (HSMs) may extend this by 1-2 weeks.
