2. 63 patent applications of the Central Bank Digital Currency Research Institute
On June 22, the official website of the State Intellectual Property Office announced the patent application for the 'inquiry method and inquiry system for digital currency trading information of the People's Bank of China Digital Currency Research Institute'. This is the 63rd patent application since the establishment of the Central Bank Digital Money Research Institute. .
According to the official website of the State Intellectual Property Office, as of June 28, the Central Bank Digital Currency Research Institute has published 63 patent applications, 57 patent applications were filed in 2017, and 6 in 2018, but it is worth noting that Among them, 4 are related to digital currency wallets. This year's patent applications are distributed in the second quarter, in May and June each have three.
Convenience and ease of use
Room for improvement
The development of the blockchain industry requires a new type of digital asset storage, which gave rise to the birth of a digital currency wallet. In the digital asset world, the wallet is a management container for keys (including private keys and public keys). The private key carries out the signature transaction, thus proving that it has the right to export the transaction, and its transaction information is stored in the blockchain instead of being stored in the wallet. The "China Blockchain Industry White Paper 2018" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology believes that for ordinary For users, the threshold for the use of digital wallets is still high, and convenience and ease of use need to be improved. This is the 'pain point' for digital wallets.
In this year's patent application, the Institute of Digital Currency Research of the Central Bank is working hard to solve the pain points of digital currency purses. The four inventions on digital currency purses have their own focuses, focusing on solving technical deficiencies in digital purse landing, synchronization, cancellation, and related account inquiries. And questions.
According to the patent specification, the invention of a method for registering a digital currency purse, terminal and system can satisfy the requirement of the digital currency issuing institution and connect with a digital currency issuing institution; does not rely on a back-end system; and can be based on the user identity of the existing account system. Open digital currency wallet, realize the indiscriminate experience and smooth transition of the existing financial infrastructure and users; facilitate the realization of interconnection of various application scenarios, which is conducive to the extensive application of digital currency.
'A method for synchronizing digital currency wallets, terminals and systems' can meet the localization characteristics and advantages of digital currency wallets, and interact with digital money wallet service providers and digital currency issuers to facilitate the update of digital currency wallet terminals. And cross-terminal migration and other operations, while securing security, enhance the flexibility of digital currency wallet, which is conducive to the widespread use of digital currency.
'A method and system for digital currency wallet cancellation'. After the user's access information is authenticated, the invention can cancel the relevant records of the wallet currency wallet terminal, the wallet service provider, the digital currency issuance registration agency, etc., and complete the digital currency cancellation process.
'Method and system for querying associated accounts based on digital currency wallet' The invention can provide users with services for querying associated accounts through the wallet service organization on the basis of the digital money wallet terminal.
The centralized release of patent applications also shows the central bank's technical strength in the digital currency field, further accelerating the process of the central bank issuing legal digital currency. Yao Qian, director of the central bank's digital currency research institute, previously told the media: 'The central bank issued a prototype plan for legal digital currency Two rounds of revisions have been completed, and it is expected that the relatively closed application scenarios such as the bill market will be tested first, but there is no clear timetable for the launch.
Digital currency wallet faces
Security Risk
As an important part of the blockchain industry chain, digital currency wallet needs to create a safer and more reliable storage environment. The Cheetah Mobile Blockchain Central Laboratory said in the 2018 Global Encryption Digital Money Wallet Security White Paper that encrypting digital currency wallets The security risks mainly exist in the user's use and security design of the wallet. The security risks in user use mainly include hidden dangers of private key escrow transactions, light wallet security issues, input mode risks, etc. Technical security risks are mainly reflected in the operation. Environment, network transmission, file storage, application, data backup, etc.
To this end, the Cheetah Mobile Blockchain Central Laboratory has suggested that for the average user, if there is a security hole in the encrypted digital wallet being used, it should be replaced by other secure encrypted digital wallet applications before the developer completes the bug fix upgrade. And re-create a new wallet address, transfer the assets of the old address to the new address, and finally invalidate the old address.
For wallet application developers, if the application has a security hole, it can be amended as described in this white paper, and then the user is upgraded. Because the old version of the user's private key/mnemonic may have been leaked due to a bug, the only solution The solution is to upgrade to the latest version, and then create a new encrypted digital wallet, transfer the old assets to the new wallet address, and invalidate the old address.
