The Trezor Hardware Wallet employs several layers of security to protect against physical tampering or unauthorized access:
Encrypted Storage: Private keys are stored in an encrypted format on the device. Even if someone physically accesses the device, they cannot directly read the private keys without the necessary decryption keys.
Secure Element: Trezor devices incorporate a secure element chip, which is a dedicated microcontroller designed to securely store and process sensitive information, such as private keys. This chip is resistant to physical tampering and is often used in devices requiring high levels of security.
PIN Protection: Users are required to set up a PIN code when initializing their Trezor device. This PIN code is needed to access the device and sign transactions. After a certain number of incorrect attempts, the device may impose a delay or wipe itself to protect against brute-force attacks.
Passphrase Protection: Trezor also offers an optional passphrase feature, which adds an additional layer of security. Users can set up a passphrase in addition to their PIN, which acts as an additional encryption layer for their private keys. Without both the PIN and the passphrase, an attacker cannot access the funds.
Physical Design: Trezor devices are designed to resist physical tampering. They are constructed with durable materials and feature tamper-evident seals. If the device is opened or tampered with in any way, these seals will be broken, indicating potential tampering.
Firmware Verification: Trezor firmware is open-source, allowing users to verify its integrity. Users can confirm that the firmware running on their device has not been tampered with by verifying its cryptographic signature.
By combining these security measures, Trezor Hardware Wallets provide robust protection against physical tampering and unauthorized access, helping users secure their cryptocurrencies.
