Bryce Ferguson and Jack Kearney, CEO and CTO of Turnkey

Web3 Galaxy Brain 🌌🧠

My guests today are Bryce Ferguson and Jack Kearney, CEO and CTO of Turnkey.

Turnkey is a private key as a service provider designed to let app devs and enterprise customers create, manage, and use private keys with a simple API. Turnkey leverages Amazon Nitro, a Trusted Execution Environment as a service, to give customers of all sizes a Secure Enclave in the cloud. This is particularly useful for companies that need to programmatically manage a large volume of private keys.

On this episode, Bryce and Jack explain Turnkey's QuorumOS, a deterministic OS for secure execution of apps like their Policy Engine, Signer, and EVM Parser. We also discuss the provisioning process for initializing apps securely, and discuss the risk profile of Hardware Security Modules and HSM cloud providers like Amazon.

It was a pleasure chatting with Bryce and Jack and learning more about the wonderful world of cryptography in the cloud. I hope you enjoy the show.
