BitBox has announced the launch of its BitBox02 Nova hardware wallet. Bitcoin The self-custody system, introduced in iOS devices native compatibility as well as a Bluetooth communication technology called Whisper.
This device is a significant upgrade to the BitBox02, as it addresses a problem that has existed for a very long time with its compatibility. BitBox created new hardware instead of using software workarounds to satisfy Apple’s native requirements.
“Our customers are at the heart of every decision we make,” Douglas Bakkum, CEO and founder of BitBox. “The BitBox02 Nova embodies this, delivering a cold wallet our customers are asking for, all while maintaining the uncompromising security and privacy that people have come to expect from us.”
Whisper uses a Bluetooth architecture that minimizes trust. Wireless communication is isolated physically on a different microcontroller, and logically from wallet firmware. The main chip verifies and encrypts any inbound communication before the data ever reaches Bluetooth. The device identity is kept private with random addresses that prevent tracking.
“Whisper silences potential attack vectors”Bakkum said. “It isolates Bluetooth function from the core system, ensures cryptographic integrity at every step, avoids remote tracking, and can be disabled by the user anytime.”
BitBox02 Nova is equipped with an EAL6+ secure chip. This certification reflects the high level of resistance against physical attacks. This device has a larger internal memory and a brand new display to allow for future software upgrades and features.
There are two versions. It is available in two versions. The second supports several altcoins, and also includes universal 2-factor authentication.
