The government cannot access your keys - only you have access to your keys. Period. These suggestions show a misunderstanding of how the Ledger security model works. We encourage everyone to research thoroughly and make informed decisions about their security.
Our mission has always been clear: to empower individuals to securely self-custody their assets. With over XX years of innovation, over XXX million devices sold, and zero hacks, Ledger is the trusted leader in hardware wallet security.
Ledger stands for self-sovereignty and security. Here are the facts.
X. Third-party access Misconceptions.
Ledger cannot decrypt your seed phrase. Shards are stored with independent providers, encrypted, and require your identity verification (IDV), Ledger device, and consent for decryption.
A minimum of two of the three fragments would be required for any jurisdiction to gain access to your wallet, and a court order would need to be obtained in at least two jurisdictions. These individual fragments are not exploitable on their own. Two of them would need to be recombined and decrypted with separate keys. Any order of this nature would realistically only ever be obtained in the most serious cases of criminality (such as where terrorist financing is suspected).
If a user chooses not to IDV and pay for the service, none of the above is relevant or applicable and the Ledger device operates the same as before.
If anyone gains access to your physical wallet, extracting keys is only possible if they know your PIN. Ledger's secure element and PIN-protection prevent brute-force attempts, ensuring your funds remain secure—even in the event of theft or loss.
X. Security Model
Ledger's security model is based on secure element hardware and cryptography, ensuring that only the user has access to their private keys. Ledger Recover, provided by Coincover, is an optional service and does not change this principle.
Ledger takes transparency seriously. We employ proprietary software for our Secure Elements, ensuring the highest level of tamper resistance and security. Importantly, a majority of Ledger's code is open source, including Ledger Live, Wallet API, Secure SDK, and embedded applications on our devices. You can review key components like the LedgerOS commands dispatcher, and entry points of Ledger Recover, provided by Coincover, implementation and its cryptographic library. Ledger undergoes regular third-party security audits to ensure our security measures remain robust and reliable.
X. Ledger Recover: Cryptographic Innovation with Security.
Ledger Recover is an opt-in paid subscription service provided by Coincover, an industry leader in digital asset protection. It is designed for those who find the traditional 24-word recovery sheet daunting. The service requires a paid subscription and leverages advanced encryption and shard-splitting technology:
- Your seed phrase is split into X encrypted shards, each stored separately by trusted providers in three different jurisdictions.
- The shards can only be reassembled with your explicit consent, through your device and ID verification with two of the three providers.
- Neither Ledger nor Coincover has access to your private keys at any point.
In the 1+ year since its launch, there have been zero incidents involving Ledger Recover, provided by Coincover, with many customers expressing relief knowing they have added security, the peace of mind of having a backup SRP, and the convenience it provides.
Additionally, with over XXX million crypto owners worldwide, only a portion of them are in secure self-custody. Ledger Recover, provided by Coincover, is aimed at empowering more people to self-custody their assets instead of relying only on centralized solutions.
