1. Key Pairs Are Generated In Secure Environment

Cryptographic key pairs are randomly generated using prominent open source libraries in an air-gapped and radio-gapped environment, on a fresh operating system.

This means every possible step that can be taken to protect the keys is taken.  The computer used to generate the keys is air-gapped meaning it does not connect to the internet, so there is no risk of data being inadvertently transmitted. 

 

2. Keys Are Printed On Acid-Free Card Stock Paper

The newly generated keys are printed on acid free card stock paper using archival quality ink, designed to last hundreds of years. 

This paper and ink combination maximizes the longevity of the wallet and is rated to last hundreds of years if properly stored in a dry and cool location. The pH of the cardstock is ~9, which means it is acid free.  Acid, which is found in most paper unless specifically treated, will cause the paper to brown and degrade over long periods of time.  We use the best materials for preserving documents over long periods of time to ensure a document this important will stand the test of time. 

 

3. The Paper Wallet Is Inserted In A Crystal Clear Protective Sheath

 The newly created paper wallet is sealed in a crystal clear protective sheath, to shield against moisture and additional wear.

The sheath is made of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP), which has excellent clarity, a low electrostatic charge, and is acid-free.  This makes it a great addition to any long term storage system. 

 

 

4. Paper Wallet Sealed In Acid-Free Security Envelope

The paper wallet is then sealed in an acid & lignin free security envelope where the public key is exposed but not the private key.

The outermost envelope contains a window to view the public key on the paper wallet, so that funds can be sent to the wallet, while keeping the private key hidden.
