Cardano To Tackle Security And Privacy Concerns
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently expressed his thoughts on keeping up with security and privacy practices. The exec said he wanted to introduce proxy keys, and his basic plans incorporate three keychains; spending key, voting key, and staking key. Essentially, this would help maintain a separation of the cold and hot infrastructures (primary and secondary).
Hoskinson asserted:
“The primary would be the spending, and the secondary would be staking and voting keys. Either directly delegate with them or create a new key chain, that’s just a staking key and a voting key. And we call those proxy keys. The idea is that you would sign a transaction that would enable those keys to act on behalf of the original keychain.”
The main benefit is that the proxy keys could live on hot wallets like Daedalus. Meanwhile, the main keychain could be on the cold infrastructure, a paper wallet, hardware wallet. The connection between proxy keys and the main keychain could be accommodated using a snark. Snark is cryptographic proof that allows one party to prove it possesses certain information without revealing that information.
However, there are certain obstacles on the roadmap, including regulatory concerns. Hoskinson added:
“It’ll have to come a little later down the roadmap. So second half of 2022, likely because there’s so much to do. But it’s definitely something that we’re looking for a protocol for that makes sense.”
