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:
- Connect your Trezor device (via USB or USB‑C) to your computer or use it via Trezor Suite. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
- Enter your PIN on the device to unlock it.
- Initiate a send/receive transaction via Trezor Suite or a compatible wallet interface.
- Transaction details (recipient address, amount, fee) are shown on the device screen.
- You manually confirm (or reject) the transaction on the device itself.
- 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:
- Buy from the official source or authorized reseller to avoid tampered devices. :contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18}
- Unbox and perform the device’s authenticity check as instructed.
- Connect to Trezor Suite, install firmware (if required) and confirm signatures.
- Generate your recovery seed and store it safely (not online).
- Create a PIN and optional passphrase.
- 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}
