[ Hardware Security ]
The Ledger Secure Element chip is a dedicated hardware security module (HSM) built on a 28nm process. It operates the BOLOS operating system, a hardened, open-source kernel designed to prevent side-channel attacks and ensure cryptographic integrity. [ Technical Specs ]: 28nm Process, 128-bit AES, 256-bit ECC, 1024-bit RSA. [ Security Architecture ]: Isolated Secure World, Hardware Root of Trust, Secure Boot, and Verified Boot. [ Protection Layer ]: The chip is physically isolated from the host system, utilizing a secure boot process and cryptographic signatures to verify the integrity of every boot cycle. [ Technical Detail ]: The Secure Element is manufactured with a high-security silicon process, ensuring that the cryptographic keys are never exposed to the host operating system or the internet, providing a tamper-proof environment for asset management.
