How CoinCola Keeps Crypto Safe

Crypto safety is a hot topic these days. Coins are growing in popularity as people invest in them, trade them, and make purchases with them – but how can you keep them safe from fraud, theft, and forgetfulness?

In this article, we answer the above question by going over 4 strategies CoinCola uses to keep your crypto safe.

SSL encryption

By default, all the data you send and receive online is unencrypted. This means that anyone who gets a hold of it can view it. This includes personal correspondence, images, videos, and, yes, crypto wallet details and access keys.

Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean someone is watching you right now. But if your ISP, the government, or a skillful criminal wanted to, they could – so long as your connection is unencrypted.

This is why CoinCola uses SSL technology to provide end-to-end encryption between its website and you. This way, your data is hidden from sight as it shuttles between the website and your devices.

The best part is that CoinCola’s SSL technology works from any browser, including mobile ones, without you doing anything.

Google 2FA

2-factor authentication (2FA)  is one of the simplest, most robust security measures available online. Here’s how it works.

When you enable 2FA via CoinCola, you get a QR code and an alphanumeric code. When you feed these into your Google Authenticator app, it saves them. Afterwards, it gives you dynamically generated keys whenever you open the app.

This simple mechanism means that Google’s 2FA mechanism is easy to use and secure against criminals and malicious hackers. It comes built into CoinCola; all you have to do is activate it to get started.

KYC with facial recognition

Know Your Customer/Seller processes help prevent OTC marketplace fraud by connecting every account to a real-life, government-registered identity. It’s one of the best ways to make sure that buyers and sellers engage in honest, open dealings with one another on our platform.

However, we decided to go a step above and beyond regular KYC procedures.

To that end, we don’t just ask for identities. We use a combination of manual and automated controls to make sure that the person on the images we receive matches up with the document photos we have on record.

Put differently, we literally comb through our KYC records to make sure faces match passport photos, driver’s license photos, etc. This adds another layer of security, preventing fraud and keeping your crypto (and fiat) money safe.

Managed private keys

Accessing a crypto wallet requires a private key. If that key gets lost – which happens regularly – so do all the funds that were in the wallet.

Fortunately, CoinCola removes the need to store or remember private keys. All you have to do is log into your account using our SSL encryption-enabled website and access your wallet that way.

This greatly reduces the likelihood of you completely losing access to your wallet, and provides some measure of peace of mind to crypto owners.
