I had to AI HSM:
Discussion
ios devices and certain android devices have their own secure hardware to create keys and sign with, without the possibility to extract the keys.
Which is a really great thing, but then, you really depend on not losing your device. So using it alone is not the perfect solution, or depends on the need.
I am familiar with the technology, just not the acronym.
I prefer decentralising my secure keys and passwords away from corporate walled gardens.
I like self built key holders.
I built a Trezor Pi, which is does not contain a secure element chip, but I prefer that to my Ledger that does.
This a device specific thing, not an OS one. Onto android devices, you can put custom OS-es, that could use the hardware.
But at the end, no one-size-fits-all solution. It highly depends on your personal situation. So DYOR. I guess you did, so onwards! 🫡
Ledger is funny. Are they asking their users to move to a new device? 😂
I dunno, I've given up with Ledger, they are just becoming too shitty.
They can't see that themselves, however.
I use a mix of hardware wallets these days. I'm trending towards Jade and SeedSigner as a like the QR air gapped functionality.
I like that I don't have to plug it into a computer or trust WiFI or Bluetooth not to communicate spurious data.
That is a big security benefit!
