Cryptosat is excited to announce that we have recently contributed to the Ethereum KZG Ceremony, using one of our satellites, Crypto2. The KZG Ceremony is an execution of the Powers of Tau MPC protocol with a large number of participants. It is essentially a decentralized alternative to a trusted setup…

Cryptosat builds and launches small satellites into Low-Earth Orbits (LEO). There, physically out of anyone’s reach, they serve as the most secure cryptographic modules that protect sensitive operations and protocols, and perform functions like harvesting entropy, trusted setups for cryptographic protocols, or signing transactions and data from space. Most developers…

We’re at Cryptosat are extremely excited to announce the launch of Crypto1, the first crypto-satellite. Crypto1, launched to a low-earth orbit aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on May 25th, is going to serve as the first cryptographic root-of-trust in space…

At Cryptosat, we like to say that Space is the Final FronTEEr (with a TEE, standing for a Trusted Execution Environment). …

(original publication at https://thenewmoney.org/2021/12/22/cryptosat-and-protocol-labs-collaborate-to-take-cryptography-to-space/) Palo Alto, California (December 21, 2021) — Cryptosat, a team of Stanford University PhDs and alumni who build satellites that power cryptographic, blockchain and ledger applications, and Protocol Labs, an open-source R&D lab that builds protocols, tools, and services to radically improve the internet (including Filecoin…

Origins of a trusted party Cryptography is fundamental in our day to day. It is one of the enablers of modern communications, blockchain technologies (yes, NFTs will not work without cryptography), the internet and much more. When designing a cryptographic protocol, we can use the following simple mental model to define its security: imagine we…
