Description

Bit currency transaction authentication method

The invention relates to a transaction authentication method for encrypting electronic money (Cryptocurrency), in particular to an authentication method for requiring a user to input a dynamic password to confirm the validity of a transaction when extracting bit currency data from a storage device.

Bitcoin is a form of currency on the Internet. It is mainly an invisible virtual coin stored on a computer or related electronic device. It is different from the currency issued by the general countries. The bitcoin is a peer-to-peer network. The monetary unit in the system that is not regulated by the central or government agencies, does not rely on the support of the central bank, the government, the enterprise, or the credit guarantee, but relies on the participants in the peer-to-peer network system to perform together with the enterprise organization that conducts the bitcoin transaction. Construction.

Bitcoin is generated through a process called “mining”, where each time a network node or miner (ie, a computer in network communication) obtains a fee by processing transaction verification and transaction records. Bitcoin, or a bitcoin that yields new output.

Bitcoin mining and node software mainly conducts transaction verification through peer-to-peer network, digital signature and interactive proof system. Each network node broadcasts transactions to the network. These broadcast transactions are processed by miners. After verification, the mine union uses its own workload proof results to express the confirmation, and the confirmed transaction will be packaged into the data block, and the data blocks will be stringed together to form a continuous data block chain.

Since the bitcoin uses irreversible hash operations, it is very difficult to find the random bar adjustments that meet the requirements. Therefore, the mining network nodes need to continuously repeat the trial and error process until the random adjustments are found to make the generated hash values. Below a certain target. When any node finds a solution that meets the requirements, the node will broadcast its own results to the entire network, and other nodes will receive the newly solved data block and check whether it meets the rules, if other nodes calculate the hash value. If the discovery does meet the requirements (the operation target required by the bitcoin), then the data block is valid and the other nodes will accept the data block.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for authenticating a bitcoin transaction, which allows the user to store the bitcoin data by using an optional offline and connected storage device, which is operated by the user when the bitcoin has to be traded. The connection function of the storage device (ex: Bluetooth, ISO14443, ISO7816, USB, etc.) is connected to another electronic device that can be connected to the Internet to conduct online transactions, preventing hackers from directly invading the storage device and stealing the internals. Bit currency information.
