Unparalleled Open-Source Security and Transparency
Jade Plus combines cutting-edge security with open source transparency ensuring your bitcoin is protected from both physical and online threats—all while allowing you to verify and have confidence in every aspect of your device.
- Blind Oracle PIN Protection: Harnessing advanced end-to-end encryption, an innovative PIN security system splits the secrets needed to access your wallet between your unique PIN, the Jade Plus device, and a remote blind oracle server that never sees or stores your data. Even if your device is physically compromised, your bitcoin remains secure.
- Genuine Check: When pairing your Jade Plus to Green, Green will verify that the Jade was produced by Blockstream, thwarting evil-maid attacks.
- Secure Boot and Anti-Exfil: Secure Boot makes sure only signed Blockstream software runs on your Jade, keeping your encrypted recovery phrase safe. Anti-Exfil adds another layer of security by forcing the device to include random data in signatures, preventing attackers from slowly guessing your private keys.
Air-Gapped Security Workflows: With new SD card support and a built-in battery and color camera, Jade Plus enables fully air-gapped operations. Sign transactions, scan QR codes, and update firmware completely offline, ensuring your private keys remain isolated from online threats.
