Privacy Node

In AmpereChain, privacy refers to the ability to keep transactions private between the involved participants. Other participants cannot access the transaction content or list of participants.

Private transaction manager​

AmpereChain uses a private transaction manager, Tessera, to implement privacy. Each AmpereChain node that sends or receives private transactions requires an associated Tessera node.

Private transactions pass from the AmpereChain node to the associated Tessera node. The Tessera node encrypts and directly distributes (that is, point-to-point) the private transaction to the Tessera nodes participating in the transaction.

By default, each participant in a privacy-enabled network uses its own AmpereChain and Tessera node. Multi-tenancy allows more than one participant to use the same AmpereChain and Tessera node.
