Software Hacking with the Raspberry Pi

Title:
Building a Bitcoin Hardware Wallet with Golang and a Raspberry Pi Zero

Speaker:
Nic Raboy - @nraboy

Description:
The Raspberry Pi Zero is an Internet of Things (IoT) device the size of a pack of gum without WiFi or Bluetooth that can run Linux and costs only five dollars. When working with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and many other Altcoins, it is recommended that wallets are encrypted and never to be exposed to the internet. Take the Ledger Nano S for example, a hardware wallet that encrypts information and is accessible via USB. In this presentation, we're going to see how Golang can be used to generate cryptocurrency wallet information sandboxed and encrypted on the Raspberry Pi Zero, an alternative to buying one of the expensive options, but maintaining similar functionality.
