Device Trust

SafeSignal™ Device Trust is a built-in OTAwallet protocol that verifies the authenticity of any device interacting with the network — from smart TVs to validators and relay nodes.

How It Works:

  1. Hardware Fingerprinting
    • Each device reports its unique identifiers:
      • Board ID, Serial Number, Build Fingerprint, DRM UUID
  2. Integrity Scan
    • Confirms:
      • Bootloader status
      • Verified boot chain
      • Google certification (if applicable)
      • Spoofed or cloned firmware detection
  3. Device Trust Rating
    • App assigns a Trusted / Unverified / Blocked label
    • Optionally broadcasts a hash of this trust report to the OTA network

🌐 Network Integration:

  • Trusted devices can:
    • ✅ Participate in validator earnings
    • ✅ Relay SafeSignal™ messages
    • ✅ Control smart devices securely
  • Untrusted or cloned hardware:
    • ⚠️ May be sandboxed, restricted, or flagged for review
    • 🛡️ Helps protect the OTA ecosystem from hijacked or malicious relays

💥 OTR Makes It Smarter:

  • Device Trust hashes and logs can be:
    • 📡 Broadcast across the OTA network
    • 🧾 Logged via IPFS for public transparency
    • 🔐 Signed with validator keys for tamper-proof audit
  • You can even reward verified devices with OTR-based validator boosts

🎯 Why It Matters:

SafeSignal™ Device Trust turns your app into a real-world hardware firewall.
It keeps the OTA mesh clean, earns user trust, and stops clones from abusing the network.
