...The big brands bring in security experts and use special hardware like secure elements to try and make sure nothing leaks out that shouldn't.
The security of hardware wallets mainly depends on the firmware. ~
While firmware plays a vital role in securing hardware wallets, it is not the only factor that matters. Physical security, side-channel attacks, and other vulnerabilities can also compromise these devices. Ultimately both hardware and software defenses are crucial - a flaw in either enables assets theft.
ographic operations can also unveil secrets and no one vulnerability rules them all.
Rather, hardware and firmware security intertwine inextricably. Though firmware drives functionality, physical tamper-resistance and side-channel protections remain critical. Perhaps firmware deserves more weighting given its flexibility in updating vulnerabilities. Yet a weak security modulus still renders firmware updates meaningless.
I couldn’t help but joke about this topic. This should not be taken as a recommendation to purchase this device.
