How KRYOS Works

Cold storage architecture designed to keep your private keys completely offline and secure from any digital threats.

Cold Storage Flow

From key generation to transaction signing — all without internet exposure

1

Key Generation

Private keys generated inside Secure Element chip using true random number generator. Keys never leave the device.

2

Offline Storage

Keys stored in EAL6+ certified chip, protected by PIN and physical security features. Air-gapped from networks.

3

Transaction Verification

Every transaction displayed on OLED screen. Manual approval required before signing.

4

Blockchain Broadcast

Signed transaction sent to blockchain network. Private key never exposed during entire process.

Multi-Layer Security

Defense-in-depth architecture protects against all attack vectors

Layer 1

Physical Security

  • Tamper-resistant aluminum & glass body
  • Secure Element chip immune to physical attacks
  • Anti-tampering sensors detect intrusion attempts
  • Self-destruct mechanism on breach detection
Layer 2

Cryptographic Security

  • EAL6+ certified Secure Element
  • AES-256 encryption for all sensitive data
  • True Random Number Generator (TRNG)
  • Hardware-accelerated cryptography
Layer 3

Authentication

  • PIN protection with brute-force countermeasures
  • Biometric verification (optional)
  • Recovery phrase backup (24-word BIP39)
  • Time-locked security features
Layer 4

Network Isolation

  • Complete air-gap from internet
  • NFC & Bluetooth with encrypted channels only
  • Transaction signing in isolated environment
  • No firmware updates without physical confirmation
Layer 5

User Verification

  • OLED display shows all transaction details
  • Physical button confirmation required
  • Address verification on-device
  • No blind signing ever allowed
Layer 6

Supply Chain Security

  • Factory-sealed packaging with unique identifiers
  • Authenticity verification via NFC
  • Open-source firmware for transparency
  • Third-party security audits
