User involvement:

• User keeps custody of the Diffie-Hellman private key
• Edge device SDK hashes a ghost key used for data encryption/decryption
• Diffie-Hellman public key is published in the protocol's smart contract
• Permissionless blockchain used as the key exchange medium between parties, achieving end-to-end privacy even through public permissionless channels

Trifecta edge device SDK:

1. Generates ECDH private key
2. Fetches ECDH public key from the on-chain Trifecta KeyLedger
3. Derives the ECDH secret
4. Performs HMAC KDF on the secret
5. Uses the hash to carry out AES encryption on the data
6. Stores the data on IPFS
7. Stores the IPFS hash and wallet address metadata on the Trifecta AccessLedger & Trifecta DataLedger

Infrastructure:

• Trifecta edge device SDK for dApp developers to build on top of
• Trifecta smart contract, which the SDK communicates with
• Edge device SDK
• Edge device cryptography layer
• EVM smart contract
