Blockchain Technology with Ternary Cryptography
Abstract
We are proposing end-to-end schemes by inserting tamper resistant devices in the hardware of the peripheral devices, and with the use of ternary cryptography. The tamper resistant devices, which are designed with nanomaterials, act as Physical Unclonable Functions to generate secret cryptographic keys. One-time use public-private key pairs are generated for each transaction with cryptographic schemes incorporating a third logic state to mitigate man-in-the-middle at-tacks. The generation of these pairs is compatible with post quantum cryptography. Finally, we are proposing the use of noise injection techniques with high performance computing to in-crease the security of the system. We present prototypes to demonstrate the feasibility of these schemes, and to quantify the relevant parameters. We conclude by presenting the value of blockchains to secure the logistics of strategic manufacturing operations.
