The father of iPod launches new cryptocurrency wallet
Tony Fadell, a well-known Silicon Valley executive known as the father of the iPod, on Today unveiled his latest project - a hardware wallet used to store cryptocurrency offline.
Trading crypto requires the use of complex cryptographic keys, which are used to authorise transactions. These keys are typically stored online, for example with an online exchange, which can leave them more susceptible to hacking or theft.
Types of crypto wallets?
There are two main types of crypto wallets, software-based hot wallets and physical cold wallets
How Does a Hardware Wallet Work?
Public and private key pairs are a core component of public key cryptography, an encryption mechanism designed to protect data from unauthorised access. Together, the keys are used to encrypt and decrypt messages and transactions.
Why Are Private Keys Important?
Composed as a long, alphanumeric code, private keys enable you to access, receive, and send cryptocurrency in a trustless manner, where a third party is not required to verify the transactions. Private keys convey final ownership and control over your cryptocurrency.
Where Can You Store Your Private Keys?
1. Hardware wallets.
2. An encrypted storage device.
3. Paper wallet.
4. Stainless steel.
What are the Benefits of a Hardware Wallet?
1. Control
2. Maximum security.
3. Backup options
What are the Disadvantages of a Hardware Wallet?
1. Upfront cost.
2. User experience
