Project description
Bitbox protects cryptographic keys
Cybercrime causes EUR 750 billion damages in Europe every year while attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Blockchain technology is promising when it comes to tackling cyber risk, but its use does not automatically secure digital assets. The theft, loss or misuse of cryptographic private keys result in irreversible damage. Shift Cryptosecurity’s first product, BitBox, is a cryptocurrency hardware wallet; a tool considered among the most secure options to hold cryptographic keys. BitBox is aimed at individual users, and thousands are already used by customers in over 100 countries. Shift Cryptosecurity additionally targets institutional investors who need to address the critical problem of cryptographic keys' management for themselves and on behalf of their clients.
