CertifiK.io upgrades blockchain safety for mnemonic keys

At Certifik.io, safeguarding our clients’ data has always been our top priority. To this end, we’ve recently implemented a significant upgrade to the key management within our blockchain infrastructure. This improvement greatly enhances the security of authentication processes and the recording of digital fingerprints on the blockchain.

A Critical Focus: Protecting Sensitive Keys

In the blockchain ecosystem, the security of private keys is paramount. These keys are essential for signing and authorizing transactions, making them prime targets for malicious attacks. Previously, the mnemonic key associated with our blockchain wallet was stored in a way that, while secure, posed certain challenges in terms of access management and protection against intrusions.

Recognizing the critical need for robust key storage, we’ve adopted a new approach that ensures greater confidentiality and security for transactions. This change aligns with our ongoing commitment to strengthening our infrastructure, providing maximum reliability for our users.

Enhanced Security for Greater Trust

The mnemonic key is now stored securely, avoiding any storage in vulnerable locations. This update drastically reduces the risk of leaks or unauthorized access, offering our users increased reliability and peace of mind.

In practice, this means that blockchain operations, particularly the registration of digital fingerprints (SHA3-512) for our clients’ documents, now occur in an even more secure environment, ensuring the integrity and longevity of recorded proofs. We’ve also implemented advanced monitoring protocols to detect any suspicious access attempts and respond immediately to anomalies.

For added security, all files are currently registered on the blockchain using our own wallets rather than those of our clients. This approach ensures optimal control over transactions and minimizes risks associated with third-party key management. By preventing the exposure of sensitive keys to less experienced users, we enhance the protection of digital assets and reinforce trust in our services.

A Technological Advancement for All

This transition is part of our commitment to continuous improvement of our platform. It ensures that our clients—businesses, institutions, and individuals—benefit from optimal data protection aligned with industry best practices. Additionally, we adhere to the most stringent cybersecurity standards to anticipate evolving threats and bolster the resilience of our infrastructure.

We will continue to invest in innovation and security to position Certifik.io as a leader in blockchain certification and traceability. We are also exploring complementary solutions, such as hardware wallets or distributed key management services, to further elevate the security of our infrastructure.

A Stronger Commitment to Our Users

Trust is at the core of our relationship with our clients. We strive to maintain full transparency regarding our security measures and are dedicated to upholding the highest standards in data and transaction protection.
