🔐Encryption Technology

To protect the integrity of data during its transmission from off-chain sources to on-chain smart contracts, DecentraLink employs state-of-the-art encryption technologies:

Symmetric and Asymmetric Encryption

• Symmetric Encryption (e.g., AES): Used to process large volumes of data stored in databases efficiently.

• Asymmetric Encryption (e.g., RSA and ECC): Used for data exchange and digital signatures, ensuring secure data transmission and verification of the sender's identity.

Hardware Security Modules (HSM)

• Used for securely generating, managing, and storing keys.

• Supports key lifecycle management, including generation, activation, revocation, and deletion.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Zero-knowledge proof technology allows one party to prove to another that a statement is true without revealing any other information beyond the veracity of the statement. This is applicable for secure verification in authentication and other sensitive transactions.

Modern Key Management Techniques

Automated Key Lifecycle Management

Use automated tools to manage the entire lifecycle of keys, including automated key updates and revocation processes, reducing the potential for human error.

Multi-Factor Key Generation

Combining multiple factors, such as hardware ID and environmental noise, can make the generation of keys

Distributed Key Generation and Storage

Keys are not stored in a single location but are distributed across multiple trusted nodes. This reduces the risk of single points of failure and increases resistance to attacks.

Blockchain-Based Key Auditing

Utilize the immutable nature of blockchain to record all key-related activities, achieving transparent and secure key management auditing.
