Nope. COLDCARD uses secure elements and a much different design. https://blog.coinkite.com/understanding-mk4-security-model/
Anyone know which hardware wallets use this chip?

Any others?

Thanks so are you saying the MK4 and Q use the same security architecture?
And while on the topic, where can I read about your thoughts on Dark Skippy and anti-exfil. Is there a reason you don’t use it?
Worth reading the article.
I did, and I appreciate the detailed explanation, yet from my limited technical understanding of dark skippy and cryptography/code in general, I cannot decipher whether the security architecture of the MK4 mitigates for it or not, albeit it is clear that there is incredible security built in to the device.
That said, I also don’t see anything in the article referencing the security architecture of the Coldcard Q, which is why I asked if it shares the same architecture as the MK4? Is there an article about the Q, and/or specifically about your thoughts on dark skippy/anti exfil?
I checked the website again and don’t see mention of Bluetooth so assume Q doesn’t use it, which I am happy about given this latest article 😅
Q&Mk4 share the same design, they are sufficiently secured against darkskippy exfill type of attacks
Not exactly an article but there is a podcast where nostr:nprofile1qqsw3znfr6vdnxrujezjrhlkqqjlvpcqx79ys7gcph9mkjjsy7zsgygpzpmhxue69uh5ummnw3ezuamfdejsz9thwden5te0v4jx2m3wdehhxarj9ekxzmnymlvvup discussed the dark skippy https://fountain.fm/episode/HZcDSZ8cuSmBeSpwvFBs
