Ledger's Secure Element — How It Protects Your Assets

The Secure Element in a Ledger is a tamper-resistant chip that stores the private key and performs signing. It's the same grade of chip used in bank cards and passports, which makes it resistant to a wide range of physical probing and side-channel attacks.

Safety reminder: Never share your recovery phrase, PIN, or verification codes with anyone. Always verify using the device screen. Use only official channels to download apps and install updates.
