Note

User identification in the BlastShield™ network is based on public-private keypairs.  All network users identify themselves using a combination of a randomized 64-bit node identifier and a 256-bit elliptic curve keypair. A public-private keypair is generated when a new user registers with the BlastShield™ network. When you register as a new BlastShield™ user using the Mobile Authenticator app, your private key is created on your mobile device and stored in it's secure enclave.
