The Trezor® Hardware Wallet® is a physical device designed to securely store cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others. It operates as an offline cold storage solution, meaning it keeps private keys offline, away from potential cyber threats like hacking or malware. When you want to perform a transaction, you connect the Trezor device to a computer or mobile device via USB or Bluetooth and authorize the transaction using physical buttons on the device itself.
Security is ensured through several layers of protection:
Private key storage: The most critical aspect of security in any cryptocurrency wallet is the storage of private keys. Trezor stores private keys offline, protected from unauthorized access.
PIN protection: Users set up a PIN code during the initial setup of the Trezor device. This PIN code is required every time the device is connected to authorize transactions, adding an extra layer of security.
Passphrase support: Trezor also supports the use of a passphrase, an additional word or sequence of characters that acts as a second factor for accessing the wallet. Even if someone gains access to the physical device, they would still need the passphrase to access the funds.
Backup and recovery: During setup, users are prompted to create a recovery seed, a list of words that can be used to recover access to the wallet in case the device is lost or damaged. It's crucial to store this recovery seed securely, as anyone with access to it can potentially gain control of the wallet.
Open-source firmware: Trezor's firmware is open-source, meaning it can be reviewed and audited by security experts and enthusiasts for vulnerabilities or backdoors. This transparency adds another layer of trust and security to the device.
