Helios Mining Cluster Security — bulletproof solutions from Quantus
If earlier the technology of blockchain and mining (production of cryptocurrencies using conventional computers or mining farms with a set of video cards under the control of special software) were interested and earned on them for the most part only programmers, people with special technical education, now this situation has changed radically. Mining and buying video cards for him engaged the most ordinary people, which on the one hand led to the growth of the main crypto-currencies, and on the other, dramatically increased the risk of losing invested funds among those who know little about it.
Such a surge of interest, of course, on the hands of video card manufacturers. Previously, there was nowhere to sell graphics cards, and now just tens of thousands of ships, and even pre-orders already paid. But this is definitely not a conspiracy of video card manufacturers. Starts crazy demand, crazy work, and scammers, dishonest people, of course, emerge. The Golden rule-if you are someone who promises something guaranteed to be associated somehow with the cryptocurrency, then look the person in the eye and think about whether you need it. Because no one should guarantee anything to you, here nobody gives guarantees. With mining the same, no one knows what will happen at the end of the summer. Definitely the complexity will grow to heaven, and how it will affect the price, no one knows. Simply, if the price does not change, the lion’s share of those who entered will not earn anything, because the complexity will be so large that everything will return to payback, as it was six months ago. When, relatively speaking, it paid off in a year, not three or four months, as it is now.
CryptoStorage is the heart of the infrastructure of Helios Mining Ltd. It will store the private keys that are required for secure communication on the network and it will be on a specially protected site. The architecture of our system is divided into performance critical and security-related components. Because of this, we can run specially protected operating systems with extremely high security standards in crypto storage without causing performance problems. We use strict partitioning in the crypto vault. This ensures that keys for TLS connections, cluster-to-cluster communications, and MCU, ESD storage encryption, and cryptocurrencies are stored separately from each other.
