In far (no) January, in one of the articles, we touched on the topic of safekeeping cryptocurrency. In that article, we reviewed in detail the new purse from the company Ledger: Ledger Nano X. Not so long ago, interesting information appeared in the network related to this company, which we want to share with you.

But first, let us remind those who have forgotten what kind of "beast" this is and will tell about it to those who don't know about "him". The company Ledger, is a leading manufacturer of hardware wallets for storing cryptocurrency and even though their latest brainchild is Nano X, in this article will discuss its predecessor: Nano S.

A few days ago, Ledger announced (with proofs) that Ledger Nano S was awarded a security certificate (CSPN or Certification de Sécurité de Premier Niveau) by the cybersecurity agency ANSSI. At the moment, this is the only device that received this certificate, it gives the company 100 points of separation in the rating of trust among holders of cryptoactive assets.

 

And in order not to be unfounded, we briefly describe to you the algorithm to get a certificate. The device falls into the hands of ANSSI laboratory specialists and must withstand a number of serious attacks and checks. This action is divided into several categories: identification, communication security, authentication and access, embedded software. Only after the experts "break their foreheads" in attempts to crack the wallet, the device receives the certificate described above. Impressive, isn't it?

But Ledger is not going to stop there!

As the company's CEO Eric Larchevek said, the company is going to certify the rest of the products, and the next in line is Ledger Nano X, the last of the purses issued by the company. And we are certainly not experts, but something inside suggests that they have every chance of realizing their goals)

And finally, we will tell you an interesting story about the company Ledger and their market competitors of the company Trezor. Not so long ago, Ledger released information about the vulnerability of competitors 'wallets, namely Trezor One and Trezor T, identified by employees of the Attack Lab division, who, to increase product safety, are engaged in burglary, both of their wallets and competitors' wallets. Many problems have been identified, some of which have already been patched and to edit some, Trezor will have to, if not redo the devices from scratch, then at least try very hard, which by itself only strengthens the desire of crypto holders to use the services of the competitors.

At this we say goodbye, keep your assets wisely and you will be happy!
See you soon!)
