Trezor @Wallet* - The official wallet
Take control of your digital wealth with Trezor® Wallet. Protect your cryptocurrencies from unauthorized access while enjoying seamless accessibility.
The Trezor Wallet employs several measures to safeguard your cryptocurrencies against potential cyber threats like hacking and malware:
Hardware Security: Trezor is a hardware wallet, meaning it stores your private keys offline, away from potential cyber threats present on internet-connected devices like computers and smartphones. This significantly reduces the risk of hacking attacks targeting your private keys.
Encryption: All sensitive data stored on the Trezor device is encrypted. This includes your private keys, PIN, and recovery seed. Encryption adds an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access to your cryptocurrency assets.
Secure Element: Trezor devices utilize a secure element chip to store private keys securely. This chip is designed to resist physical and software attacks, enhancing the overall security of the device.
PIN Protection: When you set up your Trezor device, you create a PIN code that is required each time you access your wallet. This PIN protection helps prevent unauthorized access to your cryptocurrencies in case your device falls into the wrong hands.
Passphrase Support: Trezor supports the use of an additional passphrase, also known as a "25th word." This passphrase adds an extra layer of security, as even if someone gains access to your recovery seed, they would still need the passphrase to access your funds.
Offline Transaction Signing: Trezor allows you to sign transactions offline. This means that even if your computer or smartphone is compromised by malware, the private keys needed to authorize transactions remain safely stored on your Trezor device, protecting your funds from unauthorized transfers.
Open Source Firmware: Trezor's firmware is open source, allowing it to be scrutinized by security experts for vulnerabilities and backdoors. This transparency helps ensure the integrity and security of the device's software.
Regular Updates: Trezor regularly releases firmware updates to address any security vulnerabilities or bugs discovered over time. Keeping your device's firmware up to date helps maintain its security against emerging threats.
By combining these security features, Trezor Wallet provides a robust defense against cyber threats such as hacking and malware, allowing you to store your cryptocurrencies with confidence.
