Biometric Cold Wallet with Fingerprint Authentication
D'CENT produces a biometric hardware wallet that uses fingerprint authentication instead of PIN entry for transaction signing. The device runs on a CC EAL5+ secure element and supports over 3,000 cryptocurrencies. A key security feature is the automatic wipe mechanism: five failed fingerprint attempts followed by ten failed PIN attempts triggers a complete device reset, protecting against brute force physical attacks.
