As an advisor, he helps startups recognise, evaluate, and navigate security and business risks. Andreas was one of the first to use the phrase “The Internet of Money” – also the name of his new book (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Internet-Money-Andreas-M-Antonopoulos-ebook/dp/B01L9WM0H8) – to describe bitcoin and its potential impacts on humanity.
Paul Puey is CEO and Co-Founder of Airbitz, the leading single-sign-on security platform for blockchain technology and decentralized applications. Airbitz has won accolades including being one of the top 3 mobile apps for bitcoin in the 2014 Blockchain Awards, being voted in the Top 50 FinTech Companies to Watch by AlwaysOn Inc, and receiving first place in the Inside Bitcoins 2015 and Coin Agenda 2016 pitch competitions. Paul will be talking about bringing single-sign-on to blockchain technology.
Cryptography and digital currencies have presented challenging user experiences for end users when it comes to private key management. With the growth of not just bitcoin, but a slew of decentralised blockchain applications, the problem becomes exponentially more challenging. Users are required to store, encrypt, and remember encryption passwords, key mnemonics, and account files for each blockchain application. Single-sign-on solutions from Facebook and Google have been pervasive throughout centralised websites, and have brought simplicity to account management. However they lack the security and privacy necessary for blockchain apps.
Airbitz now brings the first and only Single-Sign-On solution for any blockchain, decentralised, or privacy minded application. Learn how Edge Login technology works and how to utilise it in your blockchain app.
