Abstract
Virtuaalvaluutad ja mobiilne pangandus on tehnoloogilised uuendused, mis on rah-
vusvahelises kogukonnas saamas kasvavat tähelepanu oma kättesaadavuse, mugavuse ja
kiiruse tõttu. Populaarsuse kasv on kahjuks kaasa toonud ka suurenenud turvariski iden-
titeedivarguste näol, tekitades ohu kasutajate anonüümsusele. Riske on võimalik vältida,
kasutades krüptograafilisi meetmeid Bitcoini ja teiste hajutatud digitaalsete valuutade
vastaste rünnete vähendamiseks sideliinil ning hoiustamisel. See ülevaade koondab erine-
vad meetodid ja lahendused selliste rünnete vastu ning uurib nende tõhusust. Lisaks kir-
jeldatakse turvalist Bitcoini rahakotti (Secure Bitcoin Wallet), mis on standardne Bitcoini
ülekannete klient koos tõhustatud turvaomaduste ja -teenustega.
Virtual currencies and mobile banking are technology advancements that are receiving increased attention in the global community because of their accessibility, convenience and speed. However, this popularity comes with growing security concerns, like increasing frequency of identity theft, leading to bigger problems which put user anonymity at risk. One possible solution for these problems is using cryptography to enhance security of Bitcoin or other decentralised digital currency systems and to decrease frequency of attacks on either communication channels or system storage. This report outlines various methods and solutions targeting these issues and aims to understand their effectiveness. It also describes Secure Bitcoin Wallet, standard Bitcoin transactions client, enhanced with various security features and services.
