Abstract

A physical card (in some cases without any on-board source of power or computing capabilities) is configured to maintain access information for digital bearer assets. The physical card may include disposed thereon a single address operable to receive digital bearer assets in one or more transactions on a decentralized computing platform, like a blockchain-based decentralized computing platform. Other decentralized computing platforms utilize different address generation protocols, thus preventing use of a single address on those other platforms. A set of addresses is generated, each address corresponding to a given decentralized computing platform. Each address is based on a same underlying key-pair, and a primary address is selected from the set for a given card. The remaining addresses in the set are stored, without storage of the public key or private key, and returned in a response to a request for additional addresses of the currency card.

Claims (71)

1. A multi-component sticker, comprising:

a first component, the first component comprising:

a first adhesive layer;

a first print layer disposed above the first adhesive layer and comprising a concealed information portion on which at least some private information is disposed during a printing of the first print layer and a first public information portion on which an identifier is disposed during the printing of the first print layer; and

a second component, the second component comprising:

a second adhesive layer disposed above the first print layer and covering the concealed information portion of the first print layer, and extending beyond at least a portion of a perimeter of the first print layer; and

a second print layer disposed above the second adhesive layer and comprising a second public information portion on which at least the identifier is disposed during a second process,

wherein:

at least some private information disposed within the concealed information portion of the first print layer is associated with at least some public information disposed within the second public information portion of the second print layer,

the second component comprises a tamper-evident feature in at least one layer and a window portion aligned with the first public information portion of the first print layer to render the identifier of the first print layer accessible to visual inspection within the window portion without activation of the tamper-evident feature, and

a match between the identifier disposed on the first print layer and the identifier disposed on the second print layer indicates a correspondence between the at least some private information disposed within the concealed information portion of the first print layer and the at least some public information disposed within the second public information portion of the second print layer.

2. The sticker of claim 1 , wherein:

the first component is formed on a first substrate,

the second component is formed on a second substrate, and

the second component is aligned with the first component based on the window portion, the identifier disposed on the first print layer being visible within the window portion of the second component.

3. The sticker of claim 1 , wherein:

the first component is formed on a substrate by sequentially disposing the first layers on the substrate, and

the second component is formed on the substrate, encapsulating the first component, by sequentially disposing the second layers on the substrate.

4. The sticker of claim 3 , wherein:

a perimeter of the window portion is cut to a depth corresponding to a thickness of the second component in an area corresponding to the first public information portion, the identifier disposed on the first print layer being visible within the window portion of the second component.

5. The sticker of claim 3 , wherein:

the window portion corresponds to a transparent portion of the second component, the identifier disposed on the first print layer being visible within the window portion of the second component, and

a non-transparent portion of the second component corresponds to an area of the concealed information portion.

6. The sticker of claim 1 , wherein:

the second print layer is accessible to visual inspection without activation of the tamper-evident feature.

7. The sticker of claim 1 , wherein:

the second adhesive layer comprises the tamper-evident feature, the tamper-evident feature causing a first pattern to remain adhered to a substrate to which the second adhesive layer strongly adheres, and a second, corresponding pattern to remain adhered to an adjacent layer above the second adhesive layer.

8. The sticker of claim 7 , wherein:

the first pattern and the second pattern are revealed when the adjacent layer above the second adhesive layer is lifted away from the substrate in one or more of corresponding areas to which the second adhesive layer is adhered to the substrate.

9. The sticker of claim 7 , wherein:

the first pattern is visible on the substrate when the adjacent layer above the second adhesive layer is lifted away from the substrate.

10. The sticker of claim 7 , wherein:

the second, corresponding pattern is visible within the second component in at least some areas when the adjacent layer above the second adhesive layer is lifted away from the substrate.

11. A method of manufacturing a multi-component sticker, comprising:

disposing, to form a first component:

a first adhesive layer,

a first print layer, and

during a printing of the first print layer,

at least some private information within a concealed information portion of the first print layer, and

an identifier within a first public information portion of the first print layer; and

disposing, to form a second component:

a second adhesive layer configured to extend beyond at least a portion of a perimeter of the first print layer,

a second print layer, and

during a printing of the second print layer, the identifier within a second public information portion of the second print layer,

wherein:

at least some private information disposed within the concealed information portion of the first print layer is associated with at least some public information disposed within the second public information portion of the second print layer,

the second component comprises a tamper-evident feature in at least one layer by which the concealed information portion of the first print layer is concealed and a window portion configured to visually expose the first public information portion of the first print layer to render the identifier of the first print layer accessible to visual inspection within the window portion without activation of the tamper-evident feature, and

a match between the identifier disposed on the first print layer and the identifier disposed on the second print layer indicates a correspondence between the at least some private information disposed within the concealed information portion of the first print layer and the at least some public information disposed within the second public information portion of the second print layer.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

forming the first component on a first substrate,

forming the second component on a second substrate, and

aligning the second component with the first component to position the window portion over the first public information portion of the first print layer.

13. The method of claim, 12 , wherein the alignment of the second component with the first component causes the second component to cover the concealed information portion of the first print layer.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

forming the first component on a substrate by sequentially disposing the first layers on the substrate, and

forming the second component on the substrate by sequentially disposing the second layers on the substrate to encapsulate the first component.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

cutting along a perimeter of the window portion to a depth corresponding to a thickness of the second component in an area corresponding to the first public information portion to form the window portion, the identifier disposed on the first print layer being visible within the window portion of the second component.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein:

the window corresponds to a transparent portion of the second component, the identifier disposed on the first print layer being visible within the window portion of the second component, and

a non-transparent portion of the second component corresponds to an area of the concealed information portion.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein:

the second print layer is accessible to visual inspection without activation of the tamper-evident feature.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein:

the second adhesive layer comprises the tamper-evident feature, the tamper-evident feature causing a first pattern to remain adhered to a substrate to which the second adhesive layer strongly adheres, and a second, corresponding pattern to remain adhered to an adjacent layer above the second adhesive layer.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein:

the first pattern and the second pattern are revealed when the adjacent layer above the second adhesive layer is lifted away from the substrate in one or more of corresponding areas to which the second adhesive layer is adhered to the substrate.

20. The method of claim 18 , wherein:

the first pattern is visible on the substrate when the adjacent layer above the second adhesive layer is lifted away from the substrate.

21. The method of claim 18 , wherein:

the second, corresponding pattern is visible within the second component in at least some areas when the adjacent layer above the second adhesive layer is lifted away from the substrate.
