TLS Notary (TLSN)
Proves what data appeared in an encrypted session while revealing only selected fields. This enables payment verification with minimal data leakage.
Security Concepts
Security by construction, not by support-team discretion.
PayMoney uses modern cryptography to enforce trade rules in code. Users should understand both the strength of these primitives and the operational responsibilities that come with self-custody.
TLSN selective disclosure proves payment facts.
FROST threshold signatures remove single-device risk.
Elliptic curves make verification cheap, forgery expensive.
Core building blocks
FROST Threshold Signatures
Splits signing authority across devices or guardians. Recommended 2-of-3 setups balance compromise resistance with practical recovery.
Smart Account Abstraction
Supports gas sponsorship, batched actions, and policy controls, reducing friction without giving custody to a centralized operator.
Mathematical foundation
Why group theory and elliptic curves matter in practice.
- Finite groups provide structured operations where hard inversion problems block brute-force shortcuts.
- Elliptic curve signatures keep verification fast while making forgery computationally impractical.
- Security depends on parameter choices, implementation quality, and secure key handling by users.
Operational guidance
Security posture users should maintain.
Recommended setup
Use 2-of-3 signer configuration with phone, laptop, and offline backup. Test recovery before storing meaningful value.
Threat model
Protect against device theft, phishing, and backup loss. Cryptography cannot compensate for compromised key material.
Transparency principle
Assume no hidden operator override exists. If rules are not in contract code, they should not be treated as available controls.
