All right, next up we have uh Howard uh talking about comprehensive security solutions for your digital assets. Thank you very much. When it comes to cryptocurrencies, it's always a mix of excitement and nerves. In this world, is our currency really protected? For example, when you use insecure Wi-Fi in public places or when you store your private keys in easily accessible locations. There are also many trading platforms that appear secure but are full of vulnerabilities. You don't even need to download or click anything. Just one careless mistake. Game over. I'm talking about you, your awareness or negligence. Until that day, I met CQX. It's like a protective umbrella in the digital world. They offer the highest level of protection from military grade encryption chips. Dual protection private keys, biometric authentication, crossplatform works seamlessly across computers and mobile devices. Store safe, pay smart, excellent user interface so you can get started easily. CQX. If you want to crack it, the difficulty is like trying to land on the moon. Heat. Heat. [Music] Okay. I'm Howard um managing director of the CS Europe. Um today uh thank you for inviting me here to to make a speech. Actually uh we will today we want to talk about how to secure personal or enterprise uh the digital asset. So sec um everybody just saw just have seen this kind of video uh just sec the hardware wallet manufacturer um SES is founded 2018 so actually we are located in Taiwan which is 90% of the semiconductors manufacturer to the PSMC the same city so that's what all everybody know the semiconductor very important to supply 90% of worldwide worldwide semiconductor for this for for your smartphone for your all the digital uh for electronic outdoors. Okay. And this is our founders. And actually today our main focus not just talking about how well it because right now I think a lot of people they access to the social media. So at this moment you can see currency 502 is called fast identity online which is a authorized or um this market is growing very very fast. So if you see the CQX actually before everybody get into uh access your social media or online you want to key in the password and later on the people were asking security question what's your parents' name or you are where are you born and and so on and come out the next day there are some SM SMS give you OTP to confirmation and then you can access and the other one you use the phone app to get get in. Now the new generation you use the hardware key which is like this kind of hardware key you access the first time you give the kind of a uh just one pin and you never use the password and also you never use your username. So that's easy you just do the first time with the code and this is encrypted. So the ph economics the thrower is um from the pho that's a dango provider which is like a secret we are the dango provider so we are offering some developer API and SDK for a lot of people they develop their program they like IM uh pro uh IMM also integration for SDK they have a lot of project they can also use this kind of assets. A lot of engineer they can also use this kind of security assets to to get into develop their program and that is a kind of a ecosystem for ph. So we are talking about the ph key which is CQS what we offer right now this kind of key this is a new products which is for uh future or secure assets that's what we're talking about just just about and also for this kind of encryption what the puff actually not only just two we also encrypt it in the pipe puff in the semiconductor use in the chip to make sure as much secure Sure. So for for industry standard um like a part the 502 also we have the U253 certifi compared to the others um the key the sequ kind of key storage also we we can have the hard drive uh the um storage in the key and also you are you have the high um temper resistance and also for a lot of people this to avoid some cronies risk. Yeah. And of course some fishing a lot of the people that online to doing the fishing you we try to avoid this kind of uh uh the people have been store their their uh the data and they get access to your private private data. So that's why we also add this kind of feature and that's what for CS this is for type C and also we offer some connector to type to type A and can be used for portable user and use a handy or use a notebook or use a desktop and basically that's what all those kind of a uh key you just plug in and press this is a key to confirm that's is all This is a military degree of a security as I mentioned for everyone use currently. I think before a lot of people they go to the crypto assets. So now this kind of fle is for everybody use well you have a social media you have exchange or you have a kind of the GitHub for for access you can always use this key as a security. Yeah. So that is the spec of the the phal the power phase spec. Okay. In addition to phal key cq also offer a kind of hardware security module that is for enterprise. Everybody can see the right side. They have some for example this key for the company they have the kind of crypto reserve for example you a lot of like Donald Trump now they have a crypto uh they they want to put the crypto the bitcoin as a federal reserve now a lot of company they also put their crypto reserve in the company so that's why this is kind of key to access to hardware security module and you can see the module in the for small business small business uh middle size business they can give the different of the rule set up for example you can give the three key one is for your CEO the second one is for your CFO the other one is the COO when two of them you can define the two of them they sign to confirm and then you can access to make transaction to make crypto for example like a bitcoin you can do uh transaction do sell or buy and this kind of authorization this can be defined in the smart contract so that's what if you see the ph2 authorize not only authorized to get into the system and they have the front end and back end the back end can connect to for example a exchange like a decentralized exchange or centralized exchange for example if you have some um bitcoin to storage in the finance and you you also can put some parts in your own hardware uh hardware security as a custody and one part you can put in the uh storage in the crypto in the um finance. So in this way you can see the dashboard how many you storage in your power security module and how many you put in the crypto uh currency exchange and you always can give your internal organization to authorize the people to do this kind of transaction. Yeah. And for the other one, the example, this is not only just using for crypto um asset, you also can be used for RWA, real world asset. For example, a lot of um in the future they are stock you can convert it to a digital asset or it can can be the token or like a real estate. So if your parents or grandparents they want to give the inheritance you can give this kind of key for your kids or some foundation for example you you have some foundation or trust foundation you can give the the people who has the authorization authorized person to access to your asset then can do all those kind of pass to the the next generation. So that's is finally this is kind of simulation for inheritance. Yeah. So to be a conclusional user also we offer hardware security module for corporate or small business user and also for digital everyone they can access securely use this pal key. Yeah. And so that's what as CQS is a manufacturer we always can provide any um API or ST SKD for people to develop and we have R&D strong R&D u engineer can cooperate support for all those kind of uh what any any project we can support them to do some modification. Yeah. Okay. That is my QR code. So if you want to contact you can scan the QR code. Thank you. [Applause] So um in this world people love to not trust they don't trust they verify things right like yes uh someone writes a smart contract and I'm going to interact with that smart contract so I go and read it first because I want to see what it's going to do. Um, I think there's a real difficult problem in the hardware world of, and this isn't just specific to you, this is all hardware wallets, of how do I verify that the hardware wallet in front of me isn't compromised or how do I verify that the um implementation is actually good and that the manufacturer is doing what they set out to do. Um, is that something you're thinking about? Are you making that easier for consumers? Um, yeah. Yeah, exactly. That's why we have a hardware wallet with a bigger display. And then for the consumer is very easy. Why is a hardware wallet compared to software wallets different is when for example before you do the same transaction, we will ask you is that correct? And here will show the QR code and then you can see and also in the all not only the QR code also the address they will before you confirm. Uh no. So I mean uh what I want to verify is is the hardware wallet itself correctly implemented and not doing anything uh nefarious or something like this. Yeah. Like how do how do I know that? Uh, and I'm not suggesting that you are or any of the other um manufacturers are. I guess it's al what I'm asking is how do I know that that hardware wallet hasn't been tampered with in some way in along its uh production pipeline so that now it's siphoning off my private keys. Um, basically what what we say we use a security element. This is a a military degree for by pro is a security element. So that's one is a kind of military security. So let's find this part is also one part not only just this security element of course also uh for from the user side what user how to operate for the system and also before you doing sending something wrong you can double confirm that's that's also secure for the users. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Anybody else have any questions? Amazing. I think that was the last talk for the day. Uh yes. And the last one I think
