With the increasing popularity of Bitcoin, decentralized digital currency, and payment systems, the number of malicious third parties trying to steal Bitcoin has greatly increased. An attacker can steal bitcoins worth millions of dollars from victims by using simple malware code to gain access to the system that contains the information about the user’s private key, these systems can be a computer or smartphone. To prevent the attackers from stealing the user's Bitcoin private key, We propose the use of a hardware wallet for the authentication of every payment, this will provide security from the hackers because the private key would be on an offline device built using raspberry pi zero. This allows the users private key to be separately stored in a hardware device that is not vulnerable to online malware attacks, hence providing security and ensuring a reliable transaction.
