Ledger
Phones make poor Swiss bank accounts
Security and privacy are in the backseat - many other things to prioritize
Too many cooks, complex integration
Non auditable devices
Apple has the leading, but closed implementation
Where we start
We use field tested, proven, but closed security devices
Smartcards, Secure Elements
Trusted Execution Environments
Hardware Security Modules
What we do
We apply our almost non secret sauce (a minimalist Hardware Abstraction Layer) to open them
We make sure users won’t screw up
Minimalistic, well designed cryptographic APIs
Multi native user applications with built-in isolation
Open Source, auditable, endorsed code
Ledger Blue : our reference implementation
USB, NFC, BLE connectivity
Large touch screen
ST31 ARM based Secure Element
Developer edition available end of March 2016
How we scale
Building a developer community - port your favorite cryptographic code
Looking for new system integrations, physical or virtualized
Looking for new high level application use cases
