SpireKey

Scan, Touch & Go

Traditional Web3 authentication methods are cumbersome, requiring long passwords or managing complex seed phrases, which can introduce various vulnerabilities. Kadena SpireKey simplifies and secures the Web3 onboarding and authorization processes by storing keypairs on your device, eliminating the need for lengthy passwords. All you need is your personal device to scan, touch, and go!

Web3 Innovation With Web2 Simplicity

Built-in Multi-Sig

Kadena SpireKey can require multiple signatures across trusted devices in order to execute a transaction, ensuring that funds are safe even in the event of unauthorized account access. Further customization can also require multiple different signers across separate devices to sign for transactions, allowing for added security for special or large transactions.

Hardware Security

Utilizing WebAuthn technology enables users to securely store their crypto keypairs on any WebAuthn compatible hardware devices, such as iPhones, Androids, laptops, and more. Because the private key never leaves the device, the user’s data and assets are secured from the device’s security capabilities.

Seamless User Experience

Kadena SpireKey abstracts away the concept of Chainweb’s multiple chains, streamlining the user experience so that users and dApps don’t need to concern themselves with which chain their funds are on. Kadena SpireKey determines the best path for transferring funds to the necessary chain to complete transactions and displays it to the user for authorization.

Human-Readable Transactions

Kadena SpireKey makes signing transactions simple and accessible by showing the user exactly what they are signing for and conveying it in a manner that makes sense to users of all experience levels, taking the guesswork and complexity out of multi-step transactions.

Use Cases

Food Delivery Service

Kadena SpireKey protects your food delivery every step of the way. Whether it’s a restaurant hoping to ensure that their customer receives their order or a courier looking to deliver their order, Kadena SpireKey has you covered. For example, with built-in multi-sig, both the restaurant making the order and the courier picking up the order have to sign when its their turn. Each of these authentication steps allow you, the receiver, to track the progress of your order and sign for your goods to ensure your package is delivered.

Online Purchases

When making online purchases, you can securely complete any transaction by using a quick biometric prompt on your smartphone, such as a fingerprint or facial recognition. This method simplifies the buying process by incorporating the convenience of contactless payments, demonstrating how you can leverage Web3 technology on Kadena to facilitate secure and efficient transactions.

Encrypted Document Access

Kadena SpireKey integrates with real-world asset applications such as secure document platforms to ensure authenticated access control. Encrypted files are securely stored and encrypted, and only permissioned users can access them. Multiple keys can be assigned for shared access, while users authenticate themselves using Kadena SpireKey’s passwordless biometric or hardware-based signing methods to decrypt and open the document. SpireKey ensures that only the user holds their keys, providing a seamless yet highly secure way to manage sensitive information without relying on traditional passwords.
