TECHNICAL PROGRESS

Blockchain node in space

• Our technical team discussed the important stages of space node life cycle such as processing/storing the critical data.
• We tried to incorporate security mechanisms from either the hardware or the operating system.
• As such, critical processes including processing/storing the critical data at lower-level can be well isolated from other less important processes.
• We systematically optimized the security of the our space node based on the current software security mechanism.
• This work is currently in an early stage and we expect to further improve the security of space node in the near future.
