Offline key storage: This is the core of Trezor's security. Unlike "hot wallets" that live on your computer or phone, Trezor generates and stores your private keys entirely offline within the secure hardware device. Even when interacting with your computer to sign transactions, the private keys never leave the Trezor. This significantly reduces the risk of hackers stealing your keys through malware or online attacks.
Secure key generation: Trezor uses a special hardware random number generator to create your private keys. This randomness is crucial for strong cryptography and eliminates the possibility of predictable keys.
PIN protection and transaction verification: To access your funds and sign transactions, you need a PIN on the physical Trezor device. Additionally, Trezor displays all transaction details for you to verify before signing, minimizing the risk of accidentally approving malicious transactions.
Recovery seed and passphrase: Trezor provides a recovery seed, a set of words, to back up your private keys. This allows you to recover your funds if you lose your Trezor device. However, keeping this seed secure is vital, as anyone with it can access your crypto. Optionally, you can add a passphrase for additional security to the recovery seed.
Overall, Trezor prioritizes keeping your private keys offline and isolated, making them much harder to steal compared to online wallets. Remember, security is ultimately a shared responsibility. Trezor provides the tools, but you need to choose strong PINs, keep your recovery seed safe, and be cautious about what transactions you approve.
