Policy Briefs
Safebox Web policy briefs connect practical implementation work with the larger choices facing wallet designers, public institutions, communities, and standards bodies. They are written for first-time readers who need to understand why the architecture matters before examining its protocols and code.
Beyond the Device-Bound Wallet
Android's high-assurance credential architecture provides a strong answer to one essential wallet question: how can a remote issuer know that a protected key was generated and used inside approved device hardware?
Safebox and Acorn address the adjacent continuity question: how do user-controlled keys, balances, records, and recovery survive the loss of one device, application, relay, or provider? This brief explains why mature wallet policy needs both device-bound security and relay-backed continuity—and why they should remain distinct, composable layers.
