Abstract
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.
