New wallet Keystone3 is ready to be released and they have interesting news and changes regarding secure elements.
Unlike in previous version where they didn't want to disclose everything, now they introduced upgraded secure element
Microchip ATECC608B.
Same microchip is used in ColdCard Mk4, BitBox and Passport, OneKey, Cypherock X1, Husky are all using older version of this chip ATECC608A that had some security issues.
But this is just first part of the story, as Keystone3 uses additional secure element
Maxim DS28S60 that works together with ATECC608B in safeguarding seed phrases.
ATECC608B provides hardware-level security and authorization, and Maxim DS28S60 ensures that trusted platform module is always in place.
Third secure element
Maxim MAX32520 is used for securing fingerprint data, so I think this will be used only in Keystone3 Pro version.
Regular Keystone3 wallet will have only two secure elements, and that is perfectly fine if you don't like to use biometrics.
Thanks to this changes Keystone will now be able to store up to three seed phrases with different passwords, so there is no need to reset or have multiple devices anymore.
I think this will push other hardware wallet manufacturers to improve, and they will have hard time competing with Keystone prices.
