Abstract
A cold wallet microchip includes a cold wallet that holds various cryptocurrencies. A method provides for operation of a smartphone in which the cold wallet microchip has been inserted that allows for interaction with the cold wallet. The cold wallet can be incorporated into a system that includes secure storage, a battery, and communications hardware. Based on authentication signals the cold wallet microchip can power up and connect the secure storage to the rest of the system, thereby only providing secured access to the keys in the cold wallet. After use, the system disconnects the secure storage and the powers down to cold wallet, protecting the private keys.
