A More Flexible Method of Key Generation and Sharing
The London-based Nchain has released an SDK this week for software developers looking to innovate using the BCH blockchain. The SDK is called ‘Nakasendo,’ which is a Japanese name of an ancient trail connecting Edo to Kyoto. In Japanese, the translation means “road through the middle mountains” or “central mountain route” according to Nchain. At the moment, the 1.0 version of Nakasendo is only available to a select group of developers and teams that have been chosen in an initial testing pool. Nchain says that the Nakasendo SDK will be made more available at a later date.
Nchain reveals that the Nakasendo SDK will help Nchain port software libraries that will assist programmers in designing bitcoin cash applications. The SDK designed by Nchain is meant to navigate the complexities of blockchain development, and accelerate work. The London firm states that the SDK incorporates two patents from the company’s intellectual property portfolio.
“Version 1.0 of the SDK focuses on providing a cryptographic library, to allow for a more flexible method of key generation and sharing,” Nchain explains.
This cryptographic library can be used to improve security for any cryptocurrency exchange, and more broadly for controlling access to any type of digital asset or resource.
