Security & Protection

Trezor is built around **defense in depth**. Below are the key security layers that protect your funds:

  • **Cold Storage / Air‑Gapped Operation** — The device is never exposed to the internet directly, which greatly reduces attack surfaces. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
  • **PIN & Passphrase** — A PIN must be entered before any operation. A passphrase acts as a “25th word” in your seed. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
  • **Secure Firmware Verification & Bootloader** — Only firmware signed by Trezor is accepted, and the bootloader verifies integrity before starting. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
  • **Tamper‑Evident Design** — The casing is welded or sealed so any tampering is evident. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
  • **Shamir’s Secret Sharing (SLIP39)** — Allows splitting the backup into multiple shares, improving redundancy and safety. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
  • **Open‑Source Transparency** — The entire software stack is open to public review, helping to detect and patch vulnerabilities. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
  • **Address Poisoning & Clip Attack Protections** — Trezor Suite and device display protections help avoid attacks that try to hijack recipient addresses. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}

How It Works

Using Trezor is simple yet secure. Below is a high-level flow of how a transaction works:

  1. Connect your Trezor device (via USB or USB‑C) to your computer or use it via Trezor Suite. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
  2. Enter your PIN on the device to unlock it.
  3. Initiate a send/receive transaction via Trezor Suite or a compatible wallet interface.
  4. Transaction details (recipient address, amount, fee) are shown on the device screen.
  5. You manually confirm (or reject) the transaction on the device itself.
  6. The device signs the transaction internally (without exposing the private key), and returns the signed transaction to the host to broadcast to the blockchain.

Backup & Recovery

During setup, Trezor will generate a **recovery seed** (12, 20, or 24 words). Write it down and keep it offline and safe. In case your device is lost or damaged, you can restore your wallet—and hence all your assets—using that seed. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}

Optionally, for advanced models, Shamir Backup allows you to split that seed into multiple shares, so you don’t keep the entire seed in one place. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}

Get Started with Trezor

Here are the steps to start using Trezor safely:

  1. Buy from the official source or authorized reseller to avoid tampered devices. :contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18}
  2. Unbox and perform the device’s authenticity check as instructed.
  3. Connect to Trezor Suite, install firmware (if required) and confirm signatures.
  4. Generate your recovery seed and store it safely (not online).
  5. Create a PIN and optional passphrase.
  6. Start sending and receiving crypto—always confirm transactions on the device itself.

Tip: Use a metal backup for your seed words to guard against fire, water, or physical damage. :contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}
