The operational master key contains users' passphrases and acts as a transaction signature for when payments are made.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure security, Coinbase's patent also outlines a security measure called &#8220;freeze logic,&#8221; which automatically halts a transaction if the administrator decides to back out of a purchase.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;At any point in time after the master key is loaded, the system can be frozen. The system can be unfrozen after it has been frozen using keys from the key ceremony. The checkout process can be carried out when the system is frozen and when the system is unfrozen. The payment process can only be carried out when the system is unfrozen.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The patent also outlines enterprise applications via an API key that would give different websites the ability to launch a customized version of the portal.<\/p>\n<h2>Coinbase Expands Blockchain Ecosystem<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier this month, Coinbase acquired digital identity startup <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coinbase-acquires-digital-identity-startup-distributed-systems\/\">Distributed Systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2015, Distributed Systems is a decentralized identity solutions\u00a0company that has developed an identity standard for decentralized applications (dApps), called the Clear Protocol.<\/p>\n<p>Under the terms of the agreement, Distributed System\u2019s five-person team will merge with Coinbase and begin\u00a0working on the company\u2019s new <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coinbase-rebrands-toshi-as-coinbase-wallet\/\">Coinbase\u00a0<span class=\"glossaryTerm\" data-title=\"Wallet\" data-content=\"A\u00a0software program that stores public and private keys, allowing the user to interact and perform transactions on blockchain.\" data-url=\"\/glossary\/wallet\">Wallet<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and \u201cLogin with Coinbase\u201d product, which will allow\u00a0<span class=\"glossaryTerm\" data-title=\"dApp\" data-content=\"Stands for Decentralised Application.
