Steven Sprague, CEO of Rivetz, discusses how his company leverages
the hardware security already in your electronic device's
microchips to create a secure environment that is isolated from its
operating system.
Currently, microchips in Android devices have the ability to store
and process code directly in processor security, independent of
your device's operating system. More secure than 2-factor
authentication, it allows for blockchain security keys to be held
directly in your device's hardware, and cannot be stolen through
malware or copying a device's phone number. Once this technology is
made available to third-party app developers, it will create
device-specific access to bank accounts, cars, smart-home
technologies, hotel rooms, and more that can be easily locked or
deactivated if those devices are lost or stolen.
